I regard the theater as a woman I loved dearly who treated me like dirt.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think film likes me better than the theatre does for some reason.
My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise.
I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.
I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.
With acting, it was really more of a general kind of experience of really just loving being in the theater.
I have a lot of respect for the musical theater plays.
Hollywood can be brutal, inhuman, the opposite of what the theatre is, and I had little desire to be part of it.
Whenever I did a good performance, my Dad and my uncles, who were rabid movie fans, took me to the movies. There began my underlying love affair with film.
I had given up the theater and everything propelled me into entertainment. And I didn't resist it.
I just realized at some point that I was hopelessly in love with the theater. I fought it for a long time because I thought theater was for, you know, insufferable actors.
