ACTOR LOSES TWO KILOS PER PERFORMANCE

Well today, it’s no problem whatsoever to lose two kilograms and then go somewhere after the show and immediately make up for those two lost kilos. But when you lose two kilos in addition to ten lost before that, then those two kilos are like losing ten today, I guess, but who knows. Anyway, I’m still alive. Well, that was, how should I put this, a romantic feeling with a special meaning. Kind of like when you have dinner with someone who is very dear to you, and you light a candle to make it more special. When I see a candle today, there’s no way that I could light them and prepare an upbeat night, you know? With a cheery atmosphere and all that. But then candlelight had its own charm. Acting under candlelight, in front of an audience that’s following you as if you are lit up by a hundred kilowatts, is a feeling that I as an actor will probably never have again.
