Judi Dench and Ian McKellen taught me how to work hard and respect the theatre.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The theater was my first training ground. It taught me discipline, dedication and appreciation of hard work.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
Theatre is really difficult, so it's important that you have a director that kind of understands that and is really hands on.
I have a lot of respect for the musical theater plays.
I didn't learn anything about acting until I joined the Group Theatre. They taught me an entirely new approach, an entirely new technique.
I had a great drama teacher in high school, and that's when I started to learn about the history of theater.
Theater is a way to keep challenging myself.
I taught myself to listen and kind of regurgitate what I was surrounded by, and it's been a wonderful tool to have as an actor.
I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors.
Theatre was an art form that I didn't really respect, and because I wanted to shake it up and do different things on stage, I was able to combine all the things I'd learnt through writing on my own.
