I received the most fantastic welcome to the Broadway Theatre community. I walked on stage to tremendous applause and a long standing ovation, wondering when I was ever going to be able to say my first line!

I'm not being offered a constant stream of wonderful parts with wonderful directors that would keep me away from the theatre. When they turn up, I do them.

So many nights I'm up there on stage and I wish everybody out in the audience could see what I see and feel what I feel.

I'll eventually go back to theater because the feeling of being on stage where you have the audience right there, you can't replace that with anything.

In the theater, as an actor, you're welcoming people into your house.

When you are performing in theater, you feel so connected to your audience. It's exhilarating!

Well, first of all I'll say that I come alive best in theater.

I really like reaching out and seeing the audience - they're potential audiences! And on occasion I can make them excited about going to the theater again, if they've ceased or gone less.

I come from the theater, where the response to your work is immediate, and I suppose there's a part of me that still craves that.

I love the immediacy of an audience being there and reacting. I'm spoiled, having grown up in theater.
