I was probably never going to get to do the kind of things dramatically that I really wanted to do, so I returned to theater from time to time, and to write, and produce. It's by no means sour grapes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that's all I've ever known. It's what I've done for 20 years, which is crazy.
I have done a lot of theater.
I made theater very important in the beginning of my career.
I kind of got lost down a road of TV and film, so it's great to come back to theatre.
Before discovering theater, I was sloughing off and didn't have any passion for school. Then I couldn't get enough. All of a sudden, I was getting good parts in all of these plays. I just loved it. I started getting A's in acting, directing and technical theater. I found something that clicked.
I did a lot of theater when I was in high school and college. I also did stand-up in college, so it was always part of what I did.
When I was at drama school I wanted to do classical theatre. It just so happened that I did a film when I came out and I moved that way.
I started out doing a lot of theater, a lot of Shakespeare, classic plays.
Having started out in theatre, I feel an impulse to do it as much as I can.
I had given up the theater and everything propelled me into entertainment. And I didn't resist it.
