"I had a scene in Elmo in Grouchland with just Elmo and me. I felt I was off in that scene,"
"I wasn't responding the way I wished to be with Elmo. We finished it, and I went to the trailer, and I was ready to kill myself. I just thought I failed Elmo."
"My therapist said 'Just stay with the discomfort.'"
Mandy Patinkin identifies his most difficult project as working with Elmo rather than Homeland or Criminal Minds. He had a scene in Elmo in Grouchland with just Elmo and felt he was off and not responding as he wished. After the scene he went to his trailer feeling he had failed Elmo and considered killing himself. His therapist advised him to 'Just stay with the discomfort.' He sat with his feelings, let them pass, and remained willing to work with Elmo again. The podcast Don't Listen to Us With Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody invites listener contributions and shares related conversations.
