The theater I got to do informs every move I make as an actor and will for the rest of my life. I can't shake it if I wanted to, but I don't want to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can.
I don't think you can ease yourself into theater. I just thrust myself into it.
As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna.
I'm not being offered a constant stream of wonderful parts with wonderful directors that would keep me away from the theatre. When they turn up, I do them.
My hand still shakes when I sign autographs. I still go and sit in the movies like everyone else and look up there and go 'God! Movie stars! Wow!' And I'm in this business. I walk out there just fascinated, and I always want to stay like that. I'm just a little kid going to these movies, and I don't ever want to change.
I can't imagine my life without doing theater.
Film is where I want to end up, but I don't want to let go of theatre.
As an actor, I don't want to do something which I have already done before.
When I'm acting in a film that I'm not producing, I stay to myself.
As a director, I also get to sit and watch actors and learn from them in a way that I don't get to do when I'm just acting.
