I think theatre is by far the most rewarding experience for an actor. You get 4 weeks to rehearse your character and then at 7:30 pm you start acting and nobody stops you, acting with your entire soul.
I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.
Theatre is expensive to go to. I certainly felt when I was growing up that theatre wasn't for us. Theatre still has that stigma to it. A lot of people feel intimidated and underrepresented in theatre.
The money is better in films and television. But in terms of acting, theatre is more rewarding.
Rather than disliking theatre, I've expressed a preference for television because it tends to deal in its small way much more with issues and is able to reach a broader church of people than theatre.
I grew up wanting to be a writer for theatre.
You know, this isn't theatre like it used to be.
Edinburgh is my favourite city. We'll be doing a lot of children's theatre and galleries.
My parents used to take me to a lot of theatre when I was young.
The pit of a theatre is the one place where the tears of virtuous and wicked men alike are mingled.
I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors.
I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.
Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.
In contrast, the control you have in a theatre is very attractive to me.
Yes, it is a rehearsed show, yes, it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre, where everything has to be in place and whole things, everything being works, all works together to get the best effect you know it's more like an actor learning a part.
