I mean, there's definitely a difference between film and live performances or live television. But at the same time, it's just performing. No matter what, it's performing.

Theatre is live content, and you can tell if you have worked your audience.

In a live performance, it's a collaboration with the audience; you ride the ebb and flow of the crowd's energy. On television, you don't have that.

Live stage is being made as you go along. You feel the energy. There's nothing like a live audience.

There's nothing more fun than acting on stage with a live audience and that immediate feedback.

Unlike film, live theater is an anti-naturalistic medium in which character is mainly illuminated through speech and movement.

Live theatre provides a rush you can't get in film or television. But it is the TV and film work that offers the leisure to go off and do a play.

For me, I've never drawn a distinction between live-action acting and performance-capture acting. It is purely a technology.

I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience.

Playing live is basically just hyperactivity and a certain sense of enchantment that I deliver to the audience, to let them know what it would be like to be inside my head.
