I've ended up spending more time in front of a camera than on stage, but the stage is where I come from.

The world of the stage and the performance on the stage usually does not tend to translate very well - it doesn't tend to hold very well - once cameras are on it; it's not like it's terrible or embarrassing or bad anything, but, I, as an actor, would perform a role differently for an audience than I would for just cameras.

I have been taking classes and I'm familiar with stage, but I'm not as familiar with acting on camera.

I think if I were to go back on stage I might be in great danger of acting.

The great thing about the stage is that you have a structured month-long rehearsal period where you're going in every day. You have to have lots of run-throughs with theater because there are no second takes in front of a live audience.

Stage is about imperfections and working with them, whether it be from you or the audience.

People who have never done theatre before, and have only worked in front of a camera, would find it very difficult, I think, to know how to command a stage and work with the logistics of being on stage. They're very different. The theatre is quite tricky, actually.

The great thing about stage is that you have a live audience.

When you're on stage, you gotta do it. People pay to see you, and they deserve to be entertained, and you should go out there and really give it your best shot. And that's quite a challenge.

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.
