I can hardly decide what plays I should be in.

The energy released by it is enormous and it becomes quite addictive, the power between the audience and the actor.

I find it incredibly tedious, hate that it murders itself with its own conservative pomposity.

To be honest I live among the English and have always found them to be very honest in their business dealings. They are noble, hard-working and anxious to do the right thing. But joy eludes them, they lack the joy that the Irish have.

I once saw my mother playing Mary Magdalene in a parish event. But she had to put the role aside in order to go and front the choir who were singing at the same occasion. She left the stage halfway through the Crucifixion.

I take the theater seriously in that I loathe it, I'm bored by it.

I loathe bad theater and most theatre is very bad because its repetitious, unexciting and, dangerously, it is sometimes praised for those things.
