“Some bands blow it before they even play. The most important moment of any show is when a band walks out with the red amp lights glowing, the flashlight that shows each performer the way to his spot on the stage. It's crucial not to blow it.

“I can get onstage and cut that off and be superinstinctive. To be a good live performer, you have to be instinctive.

As an actor and performer, I think it resonates more with the audience when you do have the payoff.” PeopleThinkingTryingHumansLittlesActorsGrowsWalksAudienceGrowing UpEnvironmentProfoundPerformersDecencyBad PeopleLightnessPayoff Author:Jimmy Smits
