I got fired, I think, because I just didn't fulfill the director's and the writer's idea of what the part should've been. In rehearsals, I do a lot of searching around, I try not to perform and I really feel confident in what I'm doing. I mean, you can go first day and perform and probably won't go further than that. But the way that we were all trained in the Fifties and Sixties, you needed to keep searching and so, I was doing that, and they decided that I was just taking too much time.
