I tend to arrive in the rehearsal process with very strongly developed ideas about what I want to do. But I don't like those ideas to be things that are not subject to change, or subject to development, or subject to challenge.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was younger, I never wanted to rehearse because I thought that someone would figure out I don't know what I'm doing. Now I like to really spend the time and figure it out, and rehearsal is to try something that doesn't work.
The process of rehearsal means you learn so much and really get the chance to develop your work on a character.
I love opening night, and I love doing plays. But one of my favorite parts about doing a play or working on a new play is rehearsal.
I started doing radio pieces with no clear, preconceived idea, except that I have a tendency to be theatrical.
I think, for different types of things, more rehearsal is very important.
I think rehearsal can be important if it's done in a way that works. Often, rehearsal can be a waste of time.
I like to do everything I can to avoid rehearsals, even while we're rehearsing.
I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.
I don't do a lot of rehearsal. I don't like rehearsals. I rehearse the day or morning. I spend one hour and a half with all the actors, and we go over the scenes, and we change it and change the dialogue, and we do a lot of things to it, but prior to shooting, I don't really rehearse.
I like to do everything you can possibly do before you go into rehearsal, because once we are in rehearsal or on the stage there will be a problem I didn't anticipate. It's really good to think we got it all nailed - of course you've never got it all nailed.
