You stood there and played. There might have been a couple of choreographed moves. Now it's acting, dancing, theater and choreography all wrapped into one show.

A few years ago [Redwood] was just OK. Now I see them as very respectful.

It takes time to develop a program, and you have to have somebody stick around and work with the students. A coach might come, get frustrated after a two years, then bail out. You have to stick it out.

I mean, theater acting for me is the true form. It's the real place where you learn, the place where you practice, the place where you can take risks and try things out, and I think what film acting is when you've perfected what you're doing and it's a polished piece of work, then you do it on film.

I wish the stage were as narrow as the wire of a tighrope dancer so that no incompetent would dare step upon it.

If you are looking for something, don't go sit on the seashore and expect it to come and find you; you must search, search, search with all the stubbornness in you!
