I just realized at some point that I was hopelessly in love with the theater. I fought it for a long time because I thought theater was for, you know, insufferable actors.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really enjoy theater. I just went to see 'Death of a Salesman,' and it knocked me on my ass.
I started out doing theater when I was really young, and I completely fell in love with it. I knew that this was what I wanted to do.
It was always theater for me. But part of that came out of the fact that I was always acting out as a kid. I was the kid who didn't play well with others.
I didn't fall in love with acting until I did a few films. Now, I couldn't live without it.
I love theatre. It's far more satisfying than film. Sometimes there's a collective sigh from the audience, or it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop. I couldn't believe how easy acting was when there's an audience; after a few previews I almost couldn't do it without one.
I don't want the kind of theater that I love and grew up seeing to die out.
I had given up the theater and everything propelled me into entertainment. And I didn't resist it.
I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.
My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise.
I fell into the theatre because I felt I was doing it well, and I stuck to it for the same reason.
