There's always something more to be accomplished with a character. Theater is a human experience. There's nothing shellacked or finished off about it. I guess that's why it always draws me back.

Having done a lot of theater, I'm used to sustaining characters over long periods of time.

When I was in theater I was forever trying to inhabit a space which puts yourself under the microscope as an actor and your personality and your take on life, but actually through another portal of a character.

To be in theater you have to be a kind of psychologist, for you're always trying to understand character and motives.

What I always loved about theater is that that's an experience that a company of actors just sinks itself into for weeks, and you really get to work on the material, and by the time you're in front of an audience, you really own it.

I have spent my whole life working in the theater, and most of the people I know have done the same. And we are pretty interesting people.

I see myself as not a typical theater person, but a person who uses the theater as a place to meet people and explore ideas.

To be a theater actor, I think you have to do plays all the time.

I love doing theater so much - being in front of an audience and seeing how a character grows and develops with every performance.

Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.
