. >> that's the great story about lawrence olivier. >> charlie: tell the story. >> it was during theperformance of a fellow and it had ge through the roof and the whole company inspired, went through the roof and the audience went crazy. and he stormed off the stage, slammed his dressing room door and wouldn't open it until his wife said lay, larry, he finally said yes, come in and he said it went brilliantly tonight why are you so cross. it was inspirational, wonderful and he said, yes, i know but how did i do it? >> charlie: is that the way he talked? >> well, very clip. hello johnny, what are you doing today? yeah. i'm still taking it all in. lots of that going on. [laughter] >> charlie: that's so good. have you had those kinds of performances in which you knew that some how -- the world and the sun and the moon and the earth were all in alignment and it just flowed? but see, there's something to this. it's a bit sometimes like golfers or tennis people -- >> or football >> charlie: and they say what's it like and the golfer will say the hole was this big. >> a footballer. but the interesting

. >> have you had a performance where, you know, the famous story about lawrence olivier where he was so brilliant and he a seed larry was so good an and he said, i can't he, i know, but i don't know why. have you had one of those nights or days in a shakespearean character where i felt i just nailed this like i will never nail anythg again? >> you know, i'm trying to think of howo answer that. because, yeah, i mean, i have had those experiences on stage but oddly enough, for me, i think that the times i feel the most excited about what i'm doing is where it's taken on an energy i haven't experienced before or it's taken on something that i don't understand completely. in other words, when the amalgam occurs of text, audience, and focus, there's a chemical reaction that occurs for me when you have done all of your homework and you're in a relationship with the audience and the other actors on stage and suddenly this thing takes on a life of its own and it begins to function without your intellectual thought, then it's very exciting and i think then you start gettin into surfing metaph

>> oh, gosh, laurence olivier and gregory peck, jimmy stewart, john wayne. >> the greats. >> the greats you ever imagine at that stage when you were at the juilliard, you were looking around all these talented people, presumably. did you ever imagine in your wildest dreams or maybe nightmares the level of fame that you would one day get through acting? >> no. it's funny. there was something -- i did believe that i was going to be successful as an actor. and i did realize that if you're successful as an actor, it might come along with fringe benefits, i guess, or peripheral anxieties. but that it was possible that i would have a very rewarding, successful and fulfilling life creatively. and if i just stuck to it and worked really hard and didn't doubt myself, which, of course, i did doubt myself. >> don't all actors doubt themselves? >> and didn't always work really hard. i think you have to. >> every actor i've met. they tend to suffer -- everyone says they have big egos. my experience is most actors have chronic insecurity paranoia bouts throughout their career. >> that's sort of the f
