They say 6 million people see you when you act in a film; it may only be 600 in a play. But the effect on the 600 may be truer and more lasting.
To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task.
The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.
The actor has a constant problem of personal identity.
Acting is the most brotherly and sisterly profession in the world.
I love the theatre and theatre people.
