If You Ever See Me

In Life, If You Have An Enthusiasm For What They Call 'good Manners,' Sometimes People Don't Quite Believe You. I've Had That Once Or Twice Before, Where They Assume You Can't Be For Real.

I'm Just Aware Of What I'm Thinking And Feeling But I Do Obviously Have To Get That To The Back Of The Auditorium. So There Are Things Like Projection And Filling The Room, And Not Dropping The Ends Of Lines - Technical Things Which Are Important, But I Don't Think They Change The Way I Feel In A Scene.

I Quoted David Hare One Of His Lines The Other Day To Illuminate Whatever Point We Were Trying To Make In The Conversation, And I Said 'what Play Was That?' And He Said 'it Was Your Line, You Said It About A Hundred And Fifty Times In The Vertical Hour.'

I Don't Do Plays Without Jokes Anymore. I've Retired From Those Plays. I Think It's Bad Manners To Invite People To Sit In The Dark For Two And A Half Hours And Not Tell Them The Joke.

If You Ever See Me In A Social Setting Wearing Any Sort Of Sportswear, Then You Know I'm In Crisis.
