The big thing for actors is the level of commitment.

To survive in a profession like this, you have to have absolute discipline and commitment, and I did not quite have it for musical theater.

I have such a passion for theatre.

The theater needs continual reminders that there is nothing more debasing than the work of those who do well what is not worth doing at all.

It's not that I'm sick of the theater, don't get me wrong. I'm just tired of the commitment.

Actors and writers need to come back to the theater because it's a place where you can learn. You have to pay your dues, and people who haven't paid their dues in the theater, I think, have a hard time creating a whole career.

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.

Really, I'll go anywhere at any time to continue working in theater - it's a passion that I'm thankful I still have. It keeps me creative and on my toes and meeting great people. I can't imagine a better way of working than on a play.

To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task.

I love theatre, and you learn too much as an actor and enjoy too much of it not to want to go back a lot.
