The word theatre comes from the Greeks. It means the seeing place. It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation.

Theater is an engagement between the actor and the audience. Film is a different sort of medium. It's not immediate, but in some ways it's more involving.

Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you - you're being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge.

Theater is where you go to find out something new that you don't know. It goes through somebody's brain and comes out in a comprehensible way that is beautiful, that's really interesting.

Theater is a public space. It is a spectacular space. It is a gathering place.

Theatre is the art form of the present: it exists only in the present, and then it's gone.

Theater to me is acting but it's more real on film.

Theater is a dance of a different kind, a dance of rawness and characters stripped down.

I think theater ought to be theatrical.

Theatre is the principal job of an actor. An actor's job is to tell a story to someone in a room. TV and film can be great and I really love doing it, but it is a different way of telling a story.
