I demanded two weeks of rehearsal because to me as an actor, that's the most important time.

I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out.

I'm a theater actress. I love rehearsal. I could have six weeks of rehearsal and think it's not enough. But on film, you don't get that luxury.

It is a lot cheaper to spend eight hours in a rehearsal hall than in a recording studio.

In general, I don't even have the luxury of rehearsal time on most films that I make. It is just a scene-by-scene full cast read through. It's very much just doing the rehearsal sometimes the day before, at the end of the day, but just on the spot as the scene unfolds.

I think rehearsal can be important if it's done in a way that works. Often, rehearsal can be a waste of time.

There's actually something interesting about having no rehearsal time - you have to just walk in and go with your gut, which is exciting.

All the real work is done in the rehearsal period.

I think, for different types of things, more rehearsal is very important.

It's very rare to have rehearsal time on a television show: You get scripts, you show up, and you do it.
