 At this point the theater America is in such a precarious place. |
| I talked with Brian Stokes Mitchell, who agreed with me that if you have a gift there is always stuff to do. |
| I know people like spectacle, but I'm interested in moving people. |
| I mean, there are times when you aren't working, but still believe that work will come. |
| It is so important to get respect for what you do and at the same time give it. |
| Acting is very start and stop. |
| There is some sadness for me now about acting because it used to be that there was a reverence for actors. |
| The staff, stage managers, ushers all behaved as if they respected the actors. |
| Getting work in theater has always been sort of cyclical. |
| You can't just trust to luck; you have to really listen to what that character is telling you. |
| In theater, the wellspring of the character comes from the doing of it, like a trial by fire, but in front of an audience. |
| But today I felt different, today I forgot how long it takes to get into the skin of a character and I remembered it, because today I actually got into that skin and it felt so different. |
| We all need to go to good theater; that is what I believe will save it. |
| I find that there are few reviews that extol women as wonderful artists. |
| All of the generations go to what is chic for them, and theater seems to be an older generation's art form. |
| For anyone with half a brain they can see that this play is about the human condition. |
| People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession. |
| When I see what I want, I do it. |
| I like time off because I also have a life outside of theater. |
| I think in small towns like this one, whether you're a man or a woman, you basically do what there is to do. |
