I think the hardest thing I've had to learn is that just because people might speak a certain way in real life doesn't mean it's engaging in the theater.

To make theater out of real life, you need to catch dialogue when it happens.
Theater is hard.
One of my favorite things to do is not to speak on screen. In theater it's different because there's a lot of emphasis on language - it's a different medium. But that is one of the most wonderful things about film. A person's face can say so much more than their voice can.
I don't think you can ease yourself into theater. I just thrust myself into it.
With a theatre audience there's always the additional sense of a sustained challenge of which I'm acutely aware and for which you need to have the tools ready - your voice, physicality, brain.
But theatre is always a difficult experience.
I've never been a really big fan of theatre. I don't know why. It's so much for effort. It's much more difficult for me than stage acting just because of the pressure that's piled on you and you have to learn the entire performance by heart.
Theater is so precious about each word - not that it's a bad thing, but you definitely never stray from the script.
Theater is a way to keep challenging myself.
It's what I learn from the great actors that I work with. Stillness. That's all and that's the hardest thing.
