“In theater, you are there, you have a character, you have a play, you have a light, you have a set, you have an audience, and you're in control, and every night is different depending on you and the relationship with the other actors. It's as simple as that.” DifferentPlayCharacterLightNightActorsSimpleAudienceTheaterEvery Night Author:Diego Luna
“It's so fun to do theater, because as opposed to television, you just keep doing it again and again and again - every night. Sometimes it lands beautifully, and sometimes it lands just beside of it. It's like throwing a horseshoe. It's great fun.” SometimesNightFunLandTelevisionTheaterThrowingEvery NightAgain And AgainHorseshoes Author:Missi Pyle

“Theater is completely different from film or television. It has a beginning and a middle and an end and it's different every night. And it's far preferable to any other except in the sense of not getting paid, people who want to eat should do film and television.” PeopleWantShouldDifferentEndsFilmNightMiddleTelevisionPaidTheaterEvery NightFilm And Television Author:Richard Dreyfuss
“You know, when you see yourself on a big screen, I tend to watch from behind my hands. There is absolutely the regret. You always get that at the end of every project. That's what's great about theater: at least every night you get the chance to go out and re-offend. I'm endlessly disappointed, which is what propels me into the next project, probably, not to repair the damage but to kind of hopefully keep developing. Otherwise there's no reason to keep doing it, is there?” KnowsKindEndsReasonHandsBigsNightNextChanceActingBehindsWatchesRegretProjectsTheaterScreensHopefullyDevelopingDamageNo ReasonDisappointedEvery NightBig Screen Author:Cate Blanchett
“I think I missed all of the wonderful things ... I missed the control that you have in film, and I missed getting it right, really getting it right, the way you hope people will see it. All of the things that people love about theater - the fact that it changes every night and that it's so spontaneous - all of those things just frighten me.” PeopleThinkingWayFactsFilmNightWonderfulTheaterEvery NightSpontaneousWonderful Things Author:Jodie Foster
“I think in theater it demands that you say the same words every night and make it feel fresh and new. Improv demands that you be operating at the highest level of your creativity intelligence. So these two skills are both very important but I've seen people who are very skilled at one area struggle with the other. Either improvisers feel constrained by having to say the same thing over and over again or people who are really good at doing scripted work feel intimidated and exposed doing improvisation.” PeopleThinkingFeelsTwoImportantNightLevelsCreativityStruggleSkillsDemandHighestAreasTheaterExposedEvery NightImprovisationIntimidated Author:Gillian Jacobs
“If there are 1,500 people in a theater and they're all there to see you, there are no other guys. You're the guy. So it is a monastic life, it is very lonely, if I was prone to loneliness. It's a lot like wrestling, no one can throw a block for you, no one can give you a pass. Nobody can hand the ball off to you, it's you only for an hour and a half every night.” PeopleIfsGivingHandsNightGuyHoursHalfLonelinessLonelyBallsTheaterBlockWrestlingEvery NightOther GuysMonastic Life Author:Jay Mohr
