Every now and then, when you’re on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It’s a sound you can’t get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you’ve hit them where they live.
Meaning of the quote
When you're performing on stage, sometimes you can hear a special kind of silence from the audience. This silence is different from the quiet you might hear in a movie or on TV. It means that you've connected with the audience in a deep and meaningful way, and they are completely focused on your performance.
