There are an infinite number of ways to be moved in the theater.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Theater is dangerously open to repetition. It's exciting when you hit on a new way.
I believe in things that move people, if the audience isn't deeply caught up and moved to either laughter or tears then I don't think it is theater.
I've always tried to make movies that pull the audience out of their seats... I want audiences to be transported.
In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.
You can only do so much theatre.
Theater is so ephemeral, and I love that.
Theater is hard.
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.
You really, really, really have to love what you are going to do in theater because it is an unmerciful life. It's six days a week. It's eight performances a week. And that's doing the exact same thing over and over and over again.
Theater is a living creature. It takes a while to break in, like a new pair of shoes.
