My whole background, my whole life was just lots and lots of theater, a lot of that being musical theater.
life is like a jigsaw puzzle, you have to see the whole picture, then put it together piece by piece!
Theater is such a small community that every brilliant piece of theater raises us all up.
In theater, they say a theater piece is only as good as its transitions.
There's nothing like a great piece of theater - a great performance in a great piece of theater.
Another thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of an innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise. ... Each piece seems to have a life of its own. Every little piece or every big piece that I make becomes a very living thing to me, very living. I could make a million pieces; the next piece gives me a whole new thing. It is a new center. Life is total at that particular time. And that's why it's right. That reaffirms my life.
Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music, or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.
For me, the canvas is an abstract interpretation of a wall. It's a piece of art with its own history, one that alludes to the passage of time and to the theater of life.
'Saturday Night Live' is a whole different arena. It's great fun and I love it and that's what we do in the Practical theater. I believe in it wholeheartedly and will do it the rest of my life. But there's also legitimate theater, be it comedy, drama, classics or modern plays which I think is important and something I want to be involved in too.
My whole background is theater, and theater is to some degree presentational.
The whole issue is that everyone would love to do theater, but it doesn't pay enough, so to do music theater on TV, that's the ultimate dream.
The theater is where I belonged; I simply wanted to be an actress my whole life.
We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.
I feel that if you're going to do theater, you've really got to throw yourself into the deep end. You have to commit your whole life and soul to it to make it the best it could ever be because theater can truly change people in lots of different ways. But I also think it can bore people to death, and it's quite a fine line between those two things.
My whole life, not just in my professional career but in community theater, I played the supporting role.
If I could act in theater, my whole life, and never act in film or television again, and just direct the rest of my life, I would gladly do that.
