When I was a teenager I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

Music is the voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows.

In the theater it's about taking time in a musical segment a pause in a musical way and then moving on.

I love bad movies whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it's really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it or I wouldn't do it but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.

I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.

Dance vaudeville drama movies - as a child I loved everything that went on in a theater.

We have a very wide range of content but the brand-newest movies what's happening with those is a $30 pay-per-view option - not from Netflix but from DirecTV and others - of movies that are in the theater.

When I'm shooting a movie I'm always in an invisible theater seat. I respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained.

Television is where the best work for women is right now. I would love to do more movies but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
