And I'd watch George C. Scott from backstage. He was one of my mentors.

George, george, george of the jungle
Strong as he can be
Ahhh
Watch out for that tree

Lives a life thats free

I had a brief theater background and loved the backstage world there's more backstage work in television, so I saw a job advertised and applied, and got it. That was back in 1977, when getting jobs was easy.
Backstage Girl
Wanna hear some music
Wanna feel it
Play it nice n loud
Will you be my sweetheart
Come backstage
Hang out with the crowd
Guess whos back in town
Her name is lucille
She knows the words
To all the songs
She talks in pictures
Cant stand her tongue
Lucilles back in town
She loves to rock you
Shes goin backstage
Gonna steal my heart away
Backstage girl, staged to love
Shes goin backstage
Shes gonna burn away
Burnin my stage
To steal my heart
Wanna taste my lovin
Sure got candy rocknroll
Will you be my angel
Oh, lucille of love
Backstage girl in town
She loves to rock you

Love Song for You
I have boyfriend
I have boyfriend
But somehow I don't understand
With tears I should call
Like a fool to get calm
I can't sleep
My soul in the night is trapped on a story
I'm really selfish
That guy is so kind
I have boyfriend
I have boyfriend
Every pages of my heart want to be filled
I have boyfriend
I have boyfriend
But something I don't understand
Me, everybody, all of us realize
The backstage story of happiness drama
The one who calls just me
Because he would never do that
Me, everybody, all of us realize
The backstage story of happiness drama
The one who wants to meet just me
Because he would never do that

0082 The Myself Place
When you were a child, where was it? For there's always
some place: somewhere you go, when all you want
is just to be yourself - because
it's all too much, or not enough;
you've lost what matters most, or
not sure just what you're really looking for;
and so there's nothing else to do but go
to that friendliest place on earth, that's all your very own;
the myself place.
Street cafes, bars, can sometimes be that place:
the sun shines; relaxed, you watch the passing scene
with an assumed slight superiority
that goes with the seat price;
or alcohol soothes all in friendly gaze:
they're just the actors, extras in your play; so sit; enjoy;
smile at the world with goodwill, even love;
a few more visits, it can soon become
the myself place.
Porches, stoops, verandahs -
what a brilliant idea:
put it all aside; you've fed well, so now watch the play
from the best seat in the house:
you're there in lordly public stage box, if they want to stop and talk; and
backstage there's love enough to script your every dream: meanwhile,
the myself place.

On Darwin's Tomb in Westminster Abbey
THE Muse, when asked what words alone
Were worthy tribute to his fame,
Took up her pen, and on the stone
Inscribed his name.

Epitaph on Dr. Jenner
IN sterner fight than Waterloo
He saved his hapless brothers;
Not by his own arm, it is true,
But by the arms of others.

I think you have to be schizoid three different ways to be an actor. You've got to be three different people. You have to be a human being. Then you have to be the character you're playing. And on top of that you've got to be the guy sitting out there in Row 10, watching yourself and judging yourself.
