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

Film is much more visual, a scene is typically a lot shorter, you're dealing with a lot more characters, a lot more locations, and you're able to rely on things that you just can never do on the stage.

Film actors are, by nature, more complicated than stage actors.

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.

The great thing about stage is that you have more control. The stage is yours. The time is yours. Film is really the editor's medium.

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

What I found out about stage is that there is such a camaraderie between the actors.

I have a theory that most people disagree with. I really feel that acting for film and acting for the stage are two different crafts. I think that they share things in common. But I liken it to a painter switching over to photography.

There are similar things - you have to be conscious of light and color and form - but it's a whole different medium.
