I think theater is powerful. The best experiences I had in the theater are more powerful than the best experiences I had in movies.

Theatre's a whole different beast to film. It requires a lot more of you.

It's great to do small plays in the theatre and then go off with Blur and play in front of thousands of people.

I'm very much interested in doing actual theater.

Theater is the most enriching and thrilling thing to do as an actor.

Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.

Making a film or doing a play are completely different experiences and entirely fulfilling, but completely unique. I also think one complements the other. People often say that theater is about flexing your muscles, and is actually real acting, whereas I sort of disagree.

Doing theater is such a specifically energetic and almost acrobatic work.

I think in any form of acting, you're always well served if you've done theater.
