I have never been the kind of performer who craves applause. I'm not in this business for the gratification or acceptance.

That being said getting lots of applause always makes me uneasy. I don't know what to do. Standing there and smiling like an idiot feels weird. I know yer supposed to bask in it because they want to reward you in the way they are supposed to but it totally throws me.

I wonder if other performers go thru this?
