“I'm one of those pathetic actors who will say yes to every play reading just because I do miss the stage so much. What I really miss about the theater is that in the end, it's yours to give. In television and film, it's yours to do and someone else's to take and someone else's to give. As much as I love television - the biggest luxury of all is to know that you have a job to go to - I do miss that connection and having that power over my own performance on stage.” KnowsGivingEndsPlayJobsFilmReadingActorsMy OwnStageMissingTelevisionConnectionsPerformancesTheaterLuxuryPathetic Author:Julianna Margulies
“To move from a discussion of the early relationship between theatre and television to an examination of the current situation of live performance is to confront the irony that whereas television initially sought to replicate and, implicitly, to replace live theatre, live performance itself has developed since that time toward the replication of the discourse of mediatization.” MovingSituationTelevisionPerformancesCurrentsTheatreIronyDiscussionDiscourseExaminationReplicateLive PerformanceCurrent SituationReplicationLive Theatre Book:Liveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture Source: Liveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture
“I've noticed a lot of people talking about the wealth of roles for powerful women in television lately. And when I look around the room at the women here and I think about the performances that I've watched this year, what I see actually are women who are sometimes powerful and sometimes not. Sometimes sexy and sometimes not. Sometimes honourable and sometimes not. And what I think is new is the wealth of roles for actual women in television and in film. That's what I think is revolutionary and evolutionary and it's what turning me on.” PeopleThinkingYearsLooksSometimesFilmWealthRoomsPowerfulTalkingRolesTelevisionPerformancesSexyRevolutionaryPowerful WomenPeople Talking Author:Maggie Gyllenhaal

“I enjoyed Jonathan Franzen's 'Freedom.' Would I make that into a film? I think it's better suited to television. That would very much be a dialogue and performance piece, and it would take some very skilful direction - but not my kind of directing.

“Working in television it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it. You have more time, more room, an ability to reflect on your performance and the character and how much has really been shown, and what you'd like to see. It's nice.
