Derek Jacobi Quote
-
It`s as though you have crossed Niagara on a tightrope 250 times and, on the 251st crossing---vertigo. You are convinced you can`t move across the stage without falling over. You go rigid from the knees down. You suddenly wonder, why am I doing this? I knew I`d got to get through a whole season, three spanking parts, and that if I ran away, I would never act on stage again. It was that knowledge that shocked me out of my illness. But I had a very bad time in the first weeks. - DJ, regarding his two-year spell of stage fright and subsequent return in 1982 to the Royal Shakespeare Company
