leap-of-faith

Leap empty-handed into the void.

“It’s the hardest thing to do,” he says. “It takes a lot of work and a lot of time and a lot of competence to finally know that if you’ve learned your lines and you understand what they mean and you’re ready to go and you fixed the costume and the light’s OK, you just walk out onstage, and you leap empty-handed into the void, and you see what comes back to you.” (From Weekend Edition Saturday, October 8, 2011).
