They get up there and they’re all alone. And the only thing they have is the material to support them. And in between times a person says, “I don’t like what you did. Perhaps if you did this, it might be better”. And no matter how you say that, it always comes out just as crudely as that. And the actor’s feeling is,“You don’t like the way I sat? I’ve been sitting down that way all my life! Stay out of my life! Stay out of my guts! I don’t need you around!
