Because of the power of television, I was visible to everybody all over the world. But there are many things in the theater that are more fulfilling and that I look forward to doing more. But really, I love it all: theater, film, television.

Charlotte Rae

The process of doing films is not my favorite, but I love television. Television is a quicker turnaround. You shoot more during the day, which makes me feel more productive. It would be like, 'I did five scenes today and ten pages.' That's television.

Jaime Pressly

The difference between working with actors that have put their time in the theater and just straight film and television actors is that you trust theater actors a lot more. You know that they're seriously more trained than anyone else because theater is the best place to grow as an actor.

Tammy Blanchard

I did enjoy theater. I actually do prefer making films and television, but it was a learning experience for me, because I got into television at 5 and film at 11, and theater was something I completely bypassed.

Matthew Lewis

I prefer the paycheck of television and the experience of theater.

Deirdre Lovejoy

I think theater is very much my natural home. But the truth is that the older I've got, and the more I've written film and television, I find it incredibly hard to write theater.

Abi Morgan

I want to do theater and I am looking forward to doing more Television and Movies. I also want to direct some plays in theater workshops for people with disabilities.

Chris Burke

Theater will cast in a more open way; Denzel Washington might play Richard III. Television and film don't really cast openly like that. The theater world has always been a leader in diversity.

Mahershala Ali

I started in theater. I would liken sitcom work more to theater work than I would, perhaps, to dramatic television. It's so quick. It kind of feels like the pace of a play.

James Wolk

Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.

Condola Rashad

Before I did any television or film, I did years and years of theater. Television and film stuff, even though it went on for a good, healthy number of years, almost felt like a diversion from theater.

Tony Shalhoub

I love flexing theater Muscles. Television has merits as well, but there's no substitute for live theater.

Eddie Cahill

Compared to film or television, theater is more interactive, collaborative.

Julia Stiles

I started in the theater when I was 10, so I grew up in the theater and was very used to that, but I love movies and television, also, obviously.

Morgan Fairchild

Radio is the theater of the mind; television is the theater of the mindless.

Steve Allen

I learned my business in the theater and in television, particularly working with the actors. You can learn much more in the theater than directing a movie, because then you have no time when you are shooting a movie to really work with the actors. You have to learn this craft somewhere else.

Michael Haneke
