Summary

This quote highlights the importance of treating an actor with sensitivity and care, much like an instrumentalist treats their instrument. Just as Isaac Stern, a renowned violinist, takes good care of his violin, an actor's emotional well-being should be prioritized and protected. The metaphorical question about jumping on Stern's violin serves to emphasize the absurdity and potential harm that can result from disregarding an actor's sensitivity and treating them thoughtlessly or harshly. It emphasizes the need for considerate treatment and understanding of actors as delicate instruments capable of delivering optimal performances when handled with care.
