Summary

This quote suggests that when someone steps onto a stage, they are inherently asking for attention and placing themselves in a position of influence. In doing so, they must use their voice to express the truth they believe in. It argues that actors cannot simply perform without commitment, as their presence automatically carries some form of message or impact. In other words, every actor has a responsibility to convey their personal truth through their performance, even if it may vary from reality.
