What I do believe is theatre is a medium with a peculiar ability to air vital issues.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm passionate about music, and I feel that theatre has an extraordinarily musical ability in the way it operates on the audience.
I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.
Theatre demands different muscles and different aspects of one's personality.
Unlike film, live theater is an anti-naturalistic medium in which character is mainly illuminated through speech and movement.
Musical theater is often seen as a lesser form of acting, although I don't see it that way.
Theater publicly reveals the human condition through appealing to both intellect and emotion. Architecture, whether lowly or exalted, can do the same.
I don't think that theater is the higher medium, that it's better than film.
I come from the theatre; my bones are in the theatre. It's as natural as breathing to want to be in the theatre.
What's exciting about theatre is observing human behaviour. You're constantly making judgments about body language, the physical, the emotional, the intellectual.
Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It's what you do with the medium.
