The stage gives you more control over your own work; in television, there's a distressing amount of communal writing. Unless it's your show, you have no control over that. You're at the mercy of whoever's running the show.
From Theresa Rebeck
I find a lot of input from other people very stressful.
One thing I won't do in television is a sitcom. I find that world to be so neurotic and bizarre.
I think we have a cultural difficulty with looking at our problems.
I'm not ashamed of being American; I'm very proud.
We have this powerful ideological basis to the country that I don't think any other country in the world quite can brag about. It's a very complicated nation, and it's very fertile.
Why is being a female having an agenda any more than being a misogynist - which David Mamet most certainly is?
I think it's straight men who are oblivious to goodness or badness to dates. That's probably unfair. Maybe they just don't complain as much.
The ridiculous way that workplace politics are conducted completely gets in the way of excellence in America.
I had such a good experience doing 'The Understudy' with the Roundabout, and people were really enthusiastic about the work.
