I used to have this idea that you can spend years in the movies and TV and then, at the drop of a hat, say 'Oh, I'll go back and do the theater.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've made a point of trying not to play the same part, and of moving between theatre and film and TV. The idea is that by the time you come back, you have been away for a year and people have forgotten you. If you like having time off, which I do, that's a good career strategy.
I come from theatre and I always go back every couple of years.
I long to get back into theater.
Also, if you're in a TV show that does turn out to be very successful, you then can do whatever you want to do in theater for a very long time.
I'd love to return to theater.
Honestly, after about three years on a show, you're like, 'Thank you very much for giving me a step up. Now can I go do movies?'
I kind of got lost down a road of TV and film, so it's great to come back to theatre.
The reason I don't make more movies is because it's really hard to find ideas that I go, 'Yeah, I could spend two years of my life doing this.' Mostly what I do is say no to movies because I go, 'Maybe I would see that, but I don't think I could spend two years on it. I'd go nuts.'
I would love for film to go back to those days where you had to be able to do everything just to get by.
I did a lot of musical theatre when I was younger, so I would love to go back and do that again someday.
