Corporate Hollywood thinks I'm a geek to go back and do theater. They don't understand why I don't want to be a movie star, why I'm not pursuing Mel Gibson's roles. ↗

One of the things I love about theater, one of the reasons I'll never give it up, is that it's fifty percent the audience's responsibility. ↗

We knew all along we were making a good show, so its success was not a surprise to me. What has surprised me is the magnitude of this show's success. More people see me now in one episode than saw me in 20 years of movies and theater! ↗

My background is a small town with no movie theater. So... I always pictured myself onstage. I went to acting school and learned all the skills. I left early because I did my first movie and discovered that I really loved the minimalistic work with the camera. ↗

In musical theater you have to be very big and very animated, while film and television are more toned down. ↗

I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time. ↗

In theater, you've got to be aware of your whole body because it involves stamina. It involves two-and-a-half hours and a sustained release of energy, maybe for six months. ↗

Going to the theater is such a joyous experience. My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were very young, like six or seven years old. ↗

My goal as an actor was to work - to be a working actor, whether it was in theater, and, well, I didn't even consider film and television when I was in New York, but what came along, came along. ↗

We film in front of a live audience, and I was a theater actor before I got into television, so I like that. ↗
