I come from the theater, where the response to your work is immediate, and I suppose there's a part of me that still craves that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You get used to being lazy doing films, but classical theatre's going to finish me off.
That's why I love theatre, because things happen in the moment. I think you work without being conscious that you're working.
I'm not being offered a constant stream of wonderful parts with wonderful directors that would keep me away from the theatre. When they turn up, I do them.
I seem to be constantly confronted by theater professionals who are more or less annoyed by the prospect of structure.
I don't think you can ease yourself into theater. I just thrust myself into it.
I was probably never going to get to do the kind of things dramatically that I really wanted to do, so I returned to theater from time to time, and to write, and produce. It's by no means sour grapes.
I had given up the theater and everything propelled me into entertainment. And I didn't resist it.
I take the theater seriously in that I loathe it, I'm bored by it.
Theater is so ephemeral, and I love that.
I don't feel like I need a break from the theater, ever.
