In some roles you do get into a mode of terror. It's always very frightening - the first audiences are frightening.
Ian McLeodI become quite inhibited particularly when I do comedy, I won't - there's a whole thing of allowing an audience in and if you - if you cover yourself with a mask of, kind of, severity, which I'm quite good at doing, that's masking fear of course, then people feel shut out.
Ian McLeodYou don't like to have people believing that you're doing the wrong thing which is why we're trying to make sure that people recognise that we do the right thing.
Ian McLeodQuite often I play roles that require quite a degree of emotional exposure, and they can be very difficult to do.
