1:12:02
You know how I used to look at you.
1:12:05
I can't help but think she knew that.
1:12:09
She's probably just really embarrassed.
1:12:16
You're right.
1:12:19
And she really is being pretty brave
about this whole thing.

1:12:24
Actually, I think

1:12:28
You're as brave as she is.

that drove you over the edge?

1:13:28
It was at Drama Club,
after school on a Friday.

1:13:34
Lee Strasberg, of the famed Actors Studio...
1:13:37
used to stress the importance
of being able to perform...

1:13:40
private moments on stage.
1:13:44
Now, acting is about opening yourself up.
1:13:49
It is about freeing yourself from shame,
reticence, inhibition.

1:13:55
It's about laying yourself bare.
1:13:58
So, Brittany, I want you to show me...
