It's a well-known fact that the TV camera adds 10 pounds. I don't want to say that I've been calling my Jenny Craig consultant a lot, but I'm pretty sure I'm the first spokesperson whom they've considered filing a restraining order against.

There's little money in theatre.

In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part, but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater, it's a more concentrated and quiet experience.

Theatre's a whole different beast to film. It requires a lot more of you.

It's very different working on stage to film; the immediacy is there on stage.

In musical theater you have to be very big and very animated, while film and television are more toned down.

Film is limitless, but some stage presentations on film can look too theatrical.

I love the stage, I love the process of acting in theatre, but unfortunately, it doesn't pay the bills.

I don't think that theater is the higher medium, that it's better than film.

A movie and a stage show are two entirely different things. A picture, you can do anything you want. Change it, cut out a scene, put in a scene, take a scene out. They don't do that on stage.
