To maintain one's individuality, integrity, and true personality in the theatre is a big task.

I love the theatre and theatre people.

I am a nationalist... my native soil is the theatre.

Theatre has no national identity. It is something for the world, whether it is Irish, English, or French.

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.

The relationship with a live audience seems to me to count for more.
