The hard thing is getting people to come to the theater to see something, no matter if it's good or not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Theater is hard.
Theatre's a whole different beast to film. It requires a lot more of you.
I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
Mostly, theater becomes blander and blander as everyone wants the same thing they saw before. The good plays are the ones that don't allow you to do that.
Nobody has yet proven that taking a chance and doing something unique that an audience isn't used to is a bad idea. What the theater lacks is that kind of courage.
Theater is just so much more satisfying than film or television just because you deliver the whole thing from start to finish in one evening, and you can tell if people have enjoyed it or not. That's great to do every night to go in front of a full room of people and tell the story. There's nothing like that really.
I love bad movies, whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it's really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well.
Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people's hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted.
I'm always in the theater seeing everything, good or bad.
The great thing about doing theater is that you get to do it better the next night.
