In New York, the theater is a destination point. In Los Angeles, no matter how provocative, how successful, how star-studded the theater event may be, it is, at best, a second-class citizen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most people don't think of Los Angeles as a theatre town, and that you have to go to New York to be in theatre, and it's really not true.
In terms of theater, there's not a more supportive theater community than in New York. It's really kind of a real thrill to go there. I mean, don't forget, I'm a boy from the suburbs of Sydney, so getting to New York is a huge, huge thrill.
I trained in theater. I loved Los Angeles, but I've found New York to be successful for me.
If you want to see theater you go to New York.
People ask me if I ever feel outside the Hollywood loop, and I never do, because both of us do a lot of theatre, so it's great for New York and it's also half-way between Europe and the west coast, so it's the best of both worlds.
New York is the perfect place for a film festival because there's already so much energy and life here, and New Yorkers love movies.
I've always wanted to do theater in Chicago. Chicago is a big theater town-and, in some ways, I think this city is savvier and smarter than New York. Sometimes, I think it's a little too chic to go to theater in New York these days.
Theater is very much the world I'd like to get back to, particularly in New York, both as an actor and director.
Theatre, when it is at its best, takes a lot of beating - the live experience and the shared collective experience of live storytelling is really special when it is good. Particularly here in New York because the audiences are amazing, very vocal and very engaged, and that makes theatre very exciting.
Theater is a public space. It is a spectacular space. It is a gathering place.
