Juilliard definitely emphasizes the theater. They don't train - at all really - for film acting. It's mostly process-oriented, pretty much for the stage.
I've directed a couple of times in the theater, but I wouldn't make a habit of it because it's too consuming.
No, I knew when I was doing theater in New York that this was what I was supposed to be doing.
I worked at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, lived there for three years, and lived in Baltimore for 12 years.
I believe that a large part of the training in the regional theaters is in imitation of the British style of acting. The British orientation is textual; they start from the language and work toward the character.
I did a lot of commercial and theater work when I got out of school and was living in Dallas, and I moved to Chicago to go through the Second City Conservatory Program.
I want to do work that means something to me so that when I go to work at the theater eight times a week, I want to be there.
It's that athlete's obsessiveness - the need to prove yourself and work harder than anybody else. I think it's what helped me do well in the theater.
I'm not really looking for theater work. But if somebody approaches me with enthusiasm, I might respond.
There are people who've enjoyed my work in the theater, and they let me know that it was special for them. I'm not going to say, 'Well, you should have seen me as Gandalf!'
I wish it was possible to do the work and not have to talk about it, but it is traditional in the theater to go into the village square and bang the drum and say, 'Come see this show, come see this show.'
We can guess that the unacceptable conduct of the soldiers at Abu Ghraib resulted in part from the dangerous state of affairs on the ground in a theater of war.
If architecture is frozen music then music must be liquid architecture.
I hate musicals, especially film musicals.
When I was 17-years-old, I was in the music business.
People make music to get a reaction. Music is communication.
Great music is in the ear of the beholder.
Any good music must be an innovation.
In the music industry, intelligence in women is undervalued.
I do love country music.
There is no such thing as happy music.
