I Find There's Almost No Place To

We Have The Tendency To Condemn What We Don't Understand.

The First Theatre I Ever Found Was In The Backyard Of A New Suburban Community In The Foothills Of The Poconos. My Dad Was A Young Fbi Agent At His First Or Second Posting - We're All From New York. He Was Posted In Scranton, Pennsylvania And He Put The Family In A Brand New Red-brick Apartment. It Was In A C-shape And Behind It Was A Small Hill That Led Up To The Woods. There Was A White-washed Brick Wall That Was A Perfect Theatre! There Were Windows And All The Ladies Behind The Windows In Their Apartments. I Would Go Out There After Lunch Every Day And Sing Opera.

Also, I Had Read A Book Called She's Not There: A Life In Two Genders, Written By A Professor Who Had Gone Through Transgender Surgery, But It Took This Person Well Into His Thirties To Come To Terms With The Absolute Necessity Of Having To Do It.

I Find That Once You Find The Sound And Voice Of This Character You're Playing, Everything Else Follows. It Comes Right Out Of The Fingertips Eventually - The Physicality, The Gestures, The Walk - For Me.

I Find There's Almost No Place To Put An Award That One's Quite Comfortable With.
