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.

I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.

The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.

I truly love the rehearsal process, those eight hours a day! I really love actors.

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.

The rehearsal is where it all happens for an actor.

I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.

In theater, you have a rehearsal period and you know just who to be.

You really, really, really have to love what you are going to do in theater because it is an unmerciful life. It's six days a week. It's eight performances a week. And that's doing the exact same thing over and over and over again.

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