I love theatre. It's far more satisfying than film. Sometimes there's a collective sigh from the audience, or it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop. I couldn't believe how easy acting was when there's an audience; after a few previews I almost couldn't do it without one.

I love when people laugh. I love when they cry, I like a story to say something, and I hope the audience feels happier leaving the theatre than when it came in.

Theater has always been much more fun. You get a laugh, and it's really encouraging.

I love the theater so much, and it's where I feel most comfortable. I love the people and the community.

I love the experience the theater creates for a community of people.

What I strive to do is to make the theater experience something that people remember and recall rather than dismiss because it was less like their everyday experiences. So, I'm less interested in internal emotionalism and much more in making the audience laugh and cry by the devices that we use as theater actors.

I love the immediacy of an audience being there and reacting. I'm spoiled, having grown up in theater.

The thing about theatre is that when it is actually occurring, when you have the audience on your side, you absolutely think you can will them to do anything. It's exhilarating.

I try to bring the audience's own drama - tears and laughter they know about - to them.

I'm passionate about music, and I feel that theatre has an extraordinarily musical ability in the way it operates on the audience.
