I love the stage, I love the process of acting in theatre, but unfortunately, it doesn't pay the bills.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Theater is not to make a living, so I don't have the money pressure.
I prefer stage work, as an actor.
Theatre is great, but we don't live in an idealistic world, and we have to pay our bills.
I love the stage, but it doesn't pay the mortgage.
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.
I wouldn't go up on a stage now if you paid a thousand dollars for one minute of acting. It's a nasty experience. You're up there all by yourself. You're so damn exposed.
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.
I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I've taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money.
I think theatre is by far the most rewarding experience for an actor. You get 4 weeks to rehearse your character and then at 7:30 pm you start acting and nobody stops you, acting with your entire soul.
I've never been a really big fan of theatre. I don't know why. It's so much for effort. It's much more difficult for me than stage acting just because of the pressure that's piled on you and you have to learn the entire performance by heart.
