I love doing theater so much - being in front of an audience and seeing how a character grows and develops with every performance.

Frankly, seeing my plays with an audience is something I do with gritted teeth; I find the experience very difficult. I love the moment when you have just the dress rehearsal, when no one's there; that's kind of the peak to me. When people start filing in, I like to file out.

The whole theatre world deeply attracts me. I love rehearsing and having time to make mistakes and laugh and discover things about yourself and other people - and the energy level is great.

When you are performing in theater, you feel so connected to your audience. It's exhilarating!

I love being onstage. I love the relationship with the audience. I love the letting go, the sense of discovery, the improvising.

For me the rehearsal period is the part I most enjoy. It's the creating of the story.

The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.

The excitement of being in a rehearsal room is good for me.

The rehearsal is where it all happens for an actor.

I truly love the rehearsal process, those eight hours a day! I really love actors.
