In theater, you have a rehearsal period and you know just who to be.

I see myself as not a typical theater person, but a person who uses the theater as a place to meet people and explore ideas.

I think that theater is a unique way to communicate with people as they gather together with other people they may not even know. It creates a sense of shared community for the time of the performance that hopefully carries over into other aspects of the audience's life because they have shared this experience together.

All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater.

To be in theater you have to be a kind of psychologist, for you're always trying to understand character and motives.

The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience. It is to serve talent.

All I know is that as an audience member, I am less and less inclined to go to the theater. But that has to do with content and also because the venues seem to be actively trying to repel people.

With theater, you have to really be able to listen and to respond to other people on stage. You're all constantly on your toes. And then with film and television, you can get a second take and things like that.

Characterization is integral to the theatrical experience.

Theatre is really difficult, so it's important that you have a director that kind of understands that and is really hands on.
