"I can't tell you how scary it can be walking onto a movie and suddenly joining this family, it's like going to somebody else's Christmas dinner, everyone knows everyone, and you're there and you're not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing"

- John Cleese

About this Quote

John Cleese's quote speaks to the anxiety of signing up with a brand-new group of people, specifically when it is a close-knit household. It can be frightening to stroll into a situation where everybody understands each other and you are the outsider. It can be especially challenging when it is a movie set, as the stakes are greater and the pressure to perform is greater. It resembles going to someone else's Christmas supper, where you do not understand the custom-mades or the people, and you are uncertain what you are supposed to be doing. It can be a scary experience, however it is also an opportunity to discover and grow. With the best mindset, it can be a rewarding experience.
