Freedom Flag
I have a close friend who is an actor, and I was moved by her performances after seeing her in several plays. Later at lunch in Williamsburg Brooklyn we stuck up a conversation about performing. I asked her what it feels like after a good performance? She told me it was wonderful but sometimes it is the cost which is hard. She mentioned a documentary on Marlon Brando where he talks about this the price you pay, “the cost.” That always stuck with me.
As an artist who gives and expresses through emotion, I sometimes feel this pain., but in contrast when an audience responds to the work it makes it all worth it.
