I don't mind watching plays once in a while, but as long as I don't have to be in them.
I love to play. When I'm off, I feel a little lost - like, shouldn't I be on stage somewhere?
As an artist, you're pretty sheltered backstage. You often don't know what's going on out there.
the one thing I've observed over the years is the best way to get an actor to not want to play a certain role is to offer it to them. That makes them say, "Well, maybe it's not that good. These guys don't want me to do this..."
When I begin shooting, I get nervous, as I am under pressure to do my job well.
The judgment, criticism, and rejection you face as an actor can be overwhelming.
I never get nervous before a show, but I get nervous when we come to Scotland.
Onstage, it's more of a momentary pressure.
I have trouble watching singers because they are so sincere.
The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn't stand the sight of the audience.
You know, a lot of people are loath to go to an orchestral concert because they are intimidated by the thought.
It's kind of like, I love doing tons of different things. The only thing I hate is not being in ensembles.
