At first I probably seem very abrupt, but I like efficiency. There's work and there's play, and I always think: 'Let's get the work over with so we can thoroughly enjoy the play.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Doing a play is so fulfilling. Words cannot describe how I feel when I finish doing a play.
Sometimes it's learning how the play wants to function rather than imposing something on it. For me, that's the thrill in directing.
Instead of playing something heavily, I play it lightly. Since people like to cast cyclically, once you've done one thing, people want to put you in that bag again. And since I want to work, I let it happen.
I think I started out trying to be very objective about the flow of the play.
If you get anything creative going, then the work and play thing is the same thing, I feel.
I like to do new things, so I always take on roles that I feel will keep me on my toes. I never want to pigeon myself, so I always like to surprise myself. I believe in versatility and so I would play anything as long as it was a challenge.
I like the minute when I can get off the stage and go home, and I know I've done a good job.
With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.
I feel like when the task is more difficult for me it's more exciting.
To me, getting notes, honing the part, and refining the role is the real fun of the play.
