A friend and film writer who gave us some of the best notes we received after the performance of “The Clowns” told me he wasn’t sure whether to pass the notes on to me.
“I wasn’t sure how you’d react to them.”
Then he thought about it for a minute and realized that I was the perfect person to receive his notes.
“You’re the best person to receive a note because no matter what I say, I can’t hurt your feelings. And you’re probably one of the worst people to give a note because you don’t care about the other person’s feelings.”
While I like to think that I temper my honesty with civility, decency, and respect, he’s probably right.
