If you want to see theater you go to New York.

To me, theater is the mecca; if you really love to act, that's where it's the most fun, by a long shot.

In terms of theater, there's not a more supportive theater community than in New York. It's really kind of a real thrill to go there. I mean, don't forget, I'm a boy from the suburbs of Sydney, so getting to New York is a huge, huge thrill.

Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.

These opportunities to go on Broadway are the most special thing, and although the idea of doing something for a year or more is daunting, I love it. It's my church and raises my spirit. It's good for my soul.

Next time I do a play, I want to go out of town. I don't like the idea of opening in New York. I don't have to do theatre, but if you're going to do it, you should do it well. These days, everything has to be up and running in five minutes. As a result, the rehearsal time is missing.

There are so many things to do in New York. I try to get to the theater and see some plays. I have a bicycle over here, and I ride around New York.

Surely, you go to the theater because you want to have a great evening in the theater.

There is this church that I go to a lot in New York. I'm not religious but I love lighting candles and stuff. I find it useful.

Living in New York City is one constant, ongoing literary pilgrimage. For 20 years, I lived among the ghosts of great writers and walked where they had walked.
