I really like to work with theater actors. Theater actors tend to do lots of independent movies, and those are the actors that I like.

As long as more people will pay admission to a theater to see a naked body than to see a naked brain, the drama will languish.
People sometimes say, "Isn't it boring, isn't it always the same? It's the same lines. " I go, "Well, do you play tennis? Because that's the best analogy I can give. " If you go out eight times and play tennis eight times this week, yeah it's the same rules but it's a different game every time you're out on that court. And that's the best analogy I can come up with the theater.

The excitement of theatre is palpable but the frustrations, and the complete absence of a definitive evening - the play as text means practically nothing in a way - , there's no particular performance that is definitive in the way a novel is a solid object you hold in your hands and here it is. You can't say that about a play. If the novel gives us a sense of throbbing consciousness, theater is pure soul, beautiful and elusive.
When you go to the theater, if you're really involved in the play, you don't think about it - you're in it.
I think I'll always be a theater gypsy at heart.
Working with CGI is more like doing theater where your sort of imagining things. I didn't experience it as restrictive.
