My whole plan in my head has always been, if I go a year without acting, it's time to go home; it's time to go back to Montreal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That's what I like about acting. You don't know where you'll be in year.
I haven't been back in Montreal, at all, since the playoffs ended two years ago. It's been a while.
I love acting. When I'm acting I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm just having a wonderful time. The nightmare is just getting the work to happen.
My plan has always been to return to Broadway every 50 years.
Right now a lot of people are still choosing to go to Toronto instead of shooting in New York City, something I haven't done and something I hope I'll never have to do.
I've made a point of trying not to play the same part, and of moving between theatre and film and TV. The idea is that by the time you come back, you have been away for a year and people have forgotten you. If you like having time off, which I do, that's a good career strategy.
I'm thinking about a few weeks in Montreal to work with a producer I met there.
I never planned any of this, so I don't even think about getting acting jobs. If they call, they call. I sure don't sit on the sidelines waiting to be asked, like a nice little Catholic girl at the dance. I keep myself extremely busy. I've written 91 plays! I love to read. And I always have something to clean.
My plan was to stay in Canada to make films.
I am a proud Montrealer. Jobs will take me where they take me, but nothing will ever be able to convince me to leave my home.
