Lea: (on her involvement with theater) I auditioned, got in and the love affair started from there and just kept going. In fact it’s the longest relationship that I’ve had! (edit) Lea: I think that if an audience is truly appreciative of a performance, they will show it. Sometimes though, there are little differences, and there are audiences that are very reserved even though they are enjoying the show. (edit) Lea: You can’t coach everybody in the same way. When I’m doing a one-on-one with somebody, I have to speak in a language that that person can understand, using a vocabulary that they instantly get, and I always have to feel my way around to figure that out. (edit)
