![]() The dream has nothing to do with acting that’s just the context for my fear. This is every man’s deepest fear: to be exposed, to be found out, to be discovered as an impostor, and not really a man. I don’t know what part I’m supposed to be playing I don’t know my lines I don’t even know my cues.

In spite of the fact that my memories of theater are nearly all happy ones, I keep having this recurring nightmare. I tell you this so that you will understand what I am about to reveal.
