I learned a long time ago from David Mamet to wipe your feet

Summary

This quote is about the importance of releasing one's emotions and experiences through artistic expression, specifically on stage. The mention of "wiping your feet at the door" alludes to leaving personal baggage and troubles behind before performing. By doing so, one can fully immerse themselves in their craft, allowing their emotions to come forth authentically. The last part of the quote highlights the idea of separating the performance from one's personal life, suggesting that one should not let the experiences on stage negatively impact their day-to-day existence.
