I'm really awkward when people recognize me. I'm not good at it, and for the most part it hadn't happened to me until 'True Blood,' and then, all of a sudden, it started happening all the time.
No matter what you're doing, live it. Make an experience. Have fun. Relate to someone. Take them in. Learn.
It's one of those things; you just get a very nice stroke from being included in the next thing.
