It’s that terrible ego. What I mean is: don’t be ashamed of your ego. Because it’s the only thing that’s gonna carry you through. Can you imagine going on a show and saying, ‘Jeez, I have to put all this armor on and I’m not gonna be good doing “Hark!” the best that ever was?’ An actor is a rare animal. He only feels what he feels and is completely unaware of what anyone else feels. He’s a passionate person – passionate to the point where he has no logic as far as the rest of the world goes. He’s a person that has got to believe a dream. In other words, there’s a character. You read it – Dr. Wasserman – and you must play Dr. Wasserman to the point where society doesn’t bother you anymore. The life and love of this person must be the only important thing to you at this time. The person who is affected by society, and worries whether he’s making a good impression or people like him, fails because he’s not in what he’s supposed to be in, not fully concentrated on what he is, does not believe – and therefore cannot spin the dream that is so important to making films, theater or anything theatrical.
