When I work in the theater, you know you'll get this almost devotional, religious experience where you're breaking bread with everyone every day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I had a religious belief, I would want it to be as strong as my belief in the theater.
The reason why I hate working in theatre is the tedium of memorisation. But once that is done, then you feast on this never-ending meal. If you play it correctly, every night is fraught with very high stakes that are very difficult to find in everyday life.
Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.
I come from the theater, where the response to your work is immediate, and I suppose there's a part of me that still craves that.
You really, really, really have to love what you are going to do in theater because it is an unmerciful life. It's six days a week. It's eight performances a week. And that's doing the exact same thing over and over and over again.
When I was doing theater, I was very successful at believing that I was great, God's gift to the theater.
In theater, you have a rehearsal period and you know just who to be.
I don't feel like I need a break from the theater, ever.
Work in the theater sharpened my verse and my cinema.
When you go to the theater, you are slipping out of your life into someone else's imaginary world.
