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.

Movies will end up being this esoteric art form where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters.

In theater or movies you see either 'I'm religious' or 'I'm an atheist.' I've never seen too much discussion of 'I believe there's a higher power but I'm hesitant to reach out to him because I don't know if I'm worthy of his attention.'

I'm a person who likes these sort of movies... sad but moving 'art movies' that normally are at a festival and then they go to a small art house theater and disappear.

We were raised without movies theater or music. We had only nature the hills the trees. When I got on the set of 'Manon ' I wasn't star-struck because I didn't know what a star was.

Live theater to me is much more free than the movies or television.

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know I run a theater company in New York I direct plays act in plays in movies so I try to keep it eclectic.

Well Toronto I consider to be the birthplace of my films. I've made three films and this is the third one to premiere here in the same theater on the same day at the same time - they are my audience. They're the people that I think about while I'm writing directing and editing. I specifically make movies for them.

Quite often - a lot of the work I had done had been extensively with women. Most especially in the theater but also quite often in the movies. That has its own delights and maybe pitfalls too.

I don't know what it was maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank but I never saw what would be considered A movies.

Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.

Movies are all about plot. Theater even if it's story heavy it's about ideas.

I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school I saw 'Doctor Zhivago' every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.

I'm married to the theater but my mistress is the films.

I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.

I'm set to have my best year ever: I'm hiring some acts and there will be a show in the morning in the afternoon and in the evening. I'm going to use my theater to its fullest potential.

My mom thought I might be good for voiceover. She thought I had a cute voice so maybe I could do a cartoon or something. And while we were looking into that we also thought I should get into theater acting so I tried it and the first audition I went on I booked it. And it kind of just snowballed from there.

I got tackled once in a movie theater. I was with my mom and brother and then suddenly I got hit from behind and sort of sprawled out on the candy counter.

I was into opera as a kid - I'd play 'Carmen' and sing and dance. My mom signed me up for a theater group before preschool and I never looked back.

I saw things at an early age because my mom was a theater actress. I did a play with her when I was 10 years old.
