You have to remember we’re just performers, that we seldom have any kind of grasp on real life.
Meaning of the quote
This quote by actor Tom Kenny means that actors and performers don't really understand what regular life is like. They just pretend to be other people on stage or in front of the camera, so they don't have a good sense of how normal people live and think. Even though they may seem like they have it all figured out, actors are just playing a role and don't have a strong grip on real-world experiences.
