I don't mind watching plays once in a while, but as long as I don't have to be in them.
As an artist, you're pretty sheltered backstage. You often don't know what's going on out there.
I love to play. When I'm off, I feel a little lost - like, shouldn't I be on stage somewhere?
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.
Onstage, it's more of a momentary pressure.
I never get nervous before a show, but I get nervous when we come to Scotland.
The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn't stand the sight of the audience.
I have trouble watching singers because they are so sincere.
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.
