If I'm in theatre, cinema doesn't even cross my mind. Similarly when I'm making a film, theatre doesn't cross my mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Theater has given me a different perspective on the way I approach films.
When I'm doing theatre, I feel like my life's on hold. Even though you might go out for a coffee, or go and see a film, your brain is still there, pulling you back to it.
Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.
The thing that sticks to me most about theater is that because it's such an ape crazy nonstop experience, you really don't have time to think about anything else. You're just really present; you have to be, or else, you know, you can't stop the play.
Your mind always does worse things than people can show in a movie.
When you go to the theater, if you're really involved in the play, you don't think about it - you're in it.
Most theater tells you what to think.
Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you - you're being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge.
When you go to the theater, you are slipping out of your life into someone else's imaginary world.
In my sort of young, idealistic mind, I was just like, 'Well, it's either theater or film for me, and that will be that!'
