\u2018When I first started out, I was very, extremely afraid whenever I performed in front of an audience,\u2019 she told Roger Ebert in 1983. <\/p>\n
I would watch them carefully from above. A closer, more personal connection has now been made. <\/p>\n
I venture to guess that some of the people who wrote those letters are also among the people in each audience. <\/p>\n

but we’re both really excited about it.\u2019 It’s among my favorite pastimes. It’s an exhilarating experience for me. <\/p>\n
This is the case and has been since I was 4 years old. Just before the curtain goes up, I feel like a racehorse waiting to be released <\/p>\n
out of the starting gate. I simply can’t wait. However, Roger had little interest in going into the performing arts as a career.<\/p>\n

\u2018This morning, I worked on the Streetcar set until five o’clock.\u2019 It may be the greatest part I’ve ever played, but it also wears me out the most. <\/p>\n
I see myself more as an emotional actress than a technical one, and if Blanche Dubois is feeling something, then so am I. <\/p>\n
