Everyone The World Over Talks About British Actors And British Talent And I Think Thats Because We Were Trained - Until Now - In Theatre.
I've Done A Lot Of Costume Drama And Theatre - The National Theatre And In Fact, Most Of My Work At The Theatre, At The National Theatre Anyway, Was Period.
I Love Theatre - It's Where I Started - And I've Directed A Play Myself. I'm Not Sure If I Want To Direct A Film, But Certainly, As An Actress, I'm Always Thinking, 'surely This Must Be My Last Film.'
I've Reprised Roles In The Theatre, Which Is Somehow More Accepted, And Where One Can Automatically Go Deeper And Further Into The Role.
Despite A Large Body Of Work In Films, Tv, Theatre And Concerts, I Am Viewed By Many As A Jewish Artist. I Do Not Resent The Label, Except For The Fact That I Disapprove Of Labels In General.
An Actor Is Supposed To Emulate Life. Instead, Alas, Many Are Imitating Other Actors. You Don't Fashion Your Knowledge Of Theatre Or Your Approach To A Role On The Basis Of What Other Actors Have Done. This Kind Of Thinking Is A Great Danger, Especially In Dealing With Tv Producers Who Frequently Say Things Like, 'this Is A Sean Connery Type.'
The Truth, The Absolute Truth, Is That The Chief Beauty For The Theatre Consists In Fine Bodily Proportions.
For The Theatre One Needs Long Arms... An Artiste With Short Arms Can Never Make A Fine Gesture.
