Satisfying as that 'Cabaret' role was, it is not the only thing I do. But Hollywood is somewhat limited in its perspective about what it is you do or don't do.
You are either visual or you're not.
I saw Lee J. Cobb in 'Death of a Salesman' when I was about 15, and I couldn't get up from my seat in the theater; I was so... I was weeping, and I was upset. And I find that people are still like that in a similar circumstance in a theater today, where they just can't get up. It's too heartbreaking.
The fundamental job of the actor is to tell about the human condition, to be a voice for the truest ideas and deepest emotions.
If you don't tell the whole truth about yourself, life is a ridiculous exercise.
I fell so hard for the theater. I knew it was a place where you can sort out your life.
There was always this idea that I would work on Shakespeare and some of the other classics, but it never came to be.
