I'm afraid to do theater now.

The idea of doing theatre always terrified me because I get terrible stage fright. In the early 1970s I was offered a panto but the thought of going on stage was just too mortifying.

Theater has always been terrifying to me.

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

The theatre is one of those muscles - if you don't exercise it, it becomes a strange and truly fearful place.

I still have a fear of theater. I don't know if I will manage that. I used to do it. I developed a bit of a phobia. It's not a real phobia. I can go in and watch.

Once in awhile, there's stuff that makes me say, That's what theatre's about. It has to be a human event on the stage, and that doesn't happen very often.

Theater is about surprises and things that you haven't seen before on stage.

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.

You don't enter the theater and pay your money to be afraid. You enter the theater and pay your money to have the fears that are already in you when you go into a theater dealt with and put into a narrative.
