I still feel like a novice when it comes to classical theater, but I don't ever want to become comfortable with anything. The greatest creativity comes from being nervous and uncomfortable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I first became an actress, I expected to do regional and classical theater; I just love the whole creative process.
I sure do love theater. I mean, that's where I started. I am actually sort of shy, but something happens when the audience comes in. It's something nice for me. It terrifies me, but I'm able to do it.
I do theater as much as possible, but it's very difficult to manage for me.
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.
Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can.
When I was at drama school I wanted to do classical theatre. It just so happened that I did a film when I came out and I moved that way.
I'm passionate about music, and I feel that theatre has an extraordinarily musical ability in the way it operates on the audience.
I don't think you can ease yourself into theater. I just thrust myself into it.
It's almost scary how amateur I am when it comes to musicals - I'm a musical goer, but I am not as obsessed with musicals as perhaps some of my theatrical friends are.
I'm a very shy person and I never tried to do theater.
