In general, I don't even have the luxury of rehearsal time on most films that I make. It is just a scene-by-scene full cast read through. It's very much just doing the rehearsal sometimes the day before, at the end of the day, but just on the spot as the scene unfolds.

When you're working on a film, it's not theater; you don't have a few weeks of rehearsal. A lot of times you are showing up on set, and you've never been to the place; you've never met the other actors you're working with.

The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.

I have directed good actors and have gone through the process which is more detailed in theater in a way. You have to get people to stay for two or three hours in a performance. They need more talk and rehearsal than in films.

I don't do a lot of rehearsal. I don't like rehearsals. I rehearse the day or morning. I spend one hour and a half with all the actors, and we go over the scenes, and we change it and change the dialogue, and we do a lot of things to it, but prior to shooting, I don't really rehearse.

I demanded two weeks of rehearsal because to me as an actor, that's the most important time.

I truly love the rehearsal process, those eight hours a day! I really love actors.

I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.

In theater, you have a rehearsal period and you know just who to be.
