I have intentionally not pursued musical theater.

When I first went to college, I went to Western Michigan. I had been rejected by a bunch of schools for theater. I was like, 'I'm obviously not cut out for this, so I might as well just go into film.'

The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.

You put yourself on the line as a performer, and when people reject you, it's a personal rejection.

I'm very resistant to most forms of theater.

Unless the theatre can ennoble you, make you a better person, you should flee from it.

You're constantly getting rejected in acting. You get rejected more than you get hired!

I'm not a playwright; I'm a writer who loves theater.

I hold theatre acting in such high esteem that it scares me.

With all the auditions you do, there is a lot of rejection you have to take as well. You get used to that.
