Yo no era Patrick Stewart, no estaba en el entorno que me daba miedo, estaba fingiendo ser otra persona, y me gustaban las otras personas que fingía ser. Así que no sentía más que seguridad por estar en el escenario. Y creo que eso fue lo que me atrajo de este extraño trabajo de fingir.

• Fright is something one can never get over. When a warrior is caught in such a tight spot he would simply turn his back to the ally without thinking twice. A warrior cannot indulge thus he cannot die of fright. A warrior allows the ally to come only when he is good and ready. When he is strong enough to grapple with the ally he opens up his gap and lurches out, grabs the ally, keeps him pinned down and maintains his stare on him for exactly the time he has to, then he moves his eyes away and releases the ally and lets him go. A warrior, my little friend, is the master at all times
