I came up almost completely through the subsidised theatre. I have never been absolutely at the market interface, where I've got to sell my wares or die - I've always been protected from that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The digital and theatrical markets are two different marketplaces.
I started selling out comedy clubs before I got to town with no advertising. I was selling out theaters just on the rumor that I was going to be there.
The theater business has allowed me, in a way the movie and TV business has not, to do very, very interesting work. So that's what I do.
I'm a consumer as well as a performer. Among my leisure-time activities is going to the theater. I'm very interested in that.
There's guys like me who aren't going to the theater, so distributors are leaving money on the table.
I have had a lot of cool offers to move into traditional media, but I'm not completely sold I have to do that.
You don't get paid a whole lot for theatre, but you know, I feel more like, 'Where could I buy this experience, and how much would it cost? Who else would give me this kind of focus and put me in a room with this kind of talent?'
I'm very resistant to most forms of theater.
Actors are sellers, and I figured out a long time ago that if you wanted to work a lot, you had to be on the buying side.
I've been told my movies are difficult to market.
