I did theatrical caricatures.

What can I do to help? I am asking my senator to support political action to end hunger in the greatest country on this planet.

If you don't trust yourself, you won't trust others. You make a choice and see where it goes.

A good director creates a playground for actors, and lets them go. The trick for a good director is in casting properly, and creating the playroom, and then they'll get stuff that they don't expect, and can't even direct. All the audience wants to believe is that whatever is happening, it is happening for the first time. They want to see the people within the work exchanging dialogue and action in that moment. There are not a lot of actors that can do that.

Everyone can walk and talk. Your job is to create magic.

The real good comedians, like Chaplin, would make you laugh and a second later, cry

Any good director creates a playground. That's what they do. They hire the right actor, open the door and let them play because stuff will happen, right then and there. The audience wants to believe that what's going on is happening for the first time, ever. That's what acting is. That's what good scene writing is.
