I miss horribly those couple of hours before the performance when you get into the theater and you see people.

I get to the theatre in plenty of time; I prepare my shoes in advance; I eat and drink the right things at the right time. The rest you have to leave to luck!

I go to the theatre expecting to have a good time. I want each play and performance to take me somewhere. Naturally, this doesn't always happen.

I think that sometimes in theater, I don't prepare much beyond going to the rehearsals.

In theatre, you've got to make the connect with your audience in the first three minutes. If you haven't, you know you've almost lost them.

I'm never comfortable at theatre opening nights. If it's my own production I'm too wound up to be able to enjoy the performance and too wary to enjoy the event as a social occasion.

Surely, you go to the theater because you want to have a great evening in the theater.

The great thing about doing theater is that you get to do it better the next night.

I just am committed wholeheartedly to theatre with no intermission.

Next time I do a play, I want to go out of town. I don't like the idea of opening in New York. I don't have to do theatre, but if you're going to do it, you should do it well. These days, everything has to be up and running in five minutes. As a result, the rehearsal time is missing.
