"Nobody Ever Does Anything Wrong."

All gifted show-biz people have trouble communicating anywhere but on stage. This is a staging area, so when someone attacks you or asks you pressure questions, you can "stick to a script."

Overflow Index <== Click picture.

People are afraid they'll say the wrong thing, or they won't say enough. The way out is to say the "wrong thing!" — that is, to practice little scripts. After a while, you'll loosen up.

In all the attacks below, remember the underlying question being asked by the other person is, "Do you like me?"

It's best to say very little. Click the pictures or anywhere else for a script.
