In the theater, there's an emphasis on the singular voice. You know, it's your play. And in television, there's so much institutional involvement. So you end up having to negotiate with a lot of people, and that provides a kind of wear and tear on the spirit.
From Theresa Rebeck
Watching people toss all caution to the wind, who are ready to put their lives on the line for a dream, is something that is accessible.
I think that because television is shot on a really fast schedule, and it gets piped into your home on a smaller screen, it's much more about character and dialogue in a lot of cases than the movies are.
The movies are all about visual, and television is all about character and dialogue.
I actually think we should be trying to be rigorous in our thinking about television and the way it enters our lives and shapes the way so many people think.
I have always worked consistently, even in small ways and even in smaller theaters where I'll do One Acts or something.
Honestly, the thing that I have found to be most useful over a long career, or maintaining a long career, is taking back the power at some point and self-producing.
I like working with television. I do.
