Sentiment: POSITIVE
Theater opened up a whole new world for me. It was a freedom I'd never known before.
I did theatre all my life and then went into the film world. I then kind of segued into TV land, which is a different experience.
I got into theater at an early age.
I was in NYC during 9/11; it happened on a Tuesday, I was on stage Thursday. It was a small crowd, but it took about 10 days and comedy clubs were packed.
I remember going to the theatre when I was little and the lights going down and just getting really scared about what was going to happen up there.
I think the moment I discovered I definitely wanted to act was when I saw a play alone by myself when I was fourteen. Maybe it was a Moliere play? I discovered the atmosphere of the theater, and I knew I wanted to be an actor.
Out of nowhere, I became a fairly well-known director with a penchant for opera, which I did for 10 years. Then I realized I was taking myself out the theater channel, and so I re-focused on theater.
I discovered the theater when I was in the first grade.
In the middle 1940s... I heard everyone live. Painting, the theater; everything was happening. It was an exciting time when New York was the place to be.
People can remember their childhood, but events from four or five years ago are in a never-never land.
