Normally our season is seven weeks in the Drama Theatre and four weeks in the Opera Theater.

In theatre, the uglier you are, the better actor you are.

When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.

I was introduced to the world of films by Manoj Bajpayee and trained under theatre actor Makrand Deshpande.

I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started 'Homeland'.

My approach to 'Eastenders' is the same as my approach to film and the same approach to theatre. Whatever I do, I use the same skills and tools.

Be it 120 frames or 24 frames or film or theatre, you're trying to be a fully formed human being and trying to be honest.

We depend on the critics to give us a glimpse of what happened. Bernard Shaw championed Ibsen, who got the most terrible notices for his plays. Kenneth Tynan championed young writers, and as a result, the theatre has changed radically.

Theatre was the first thing I fell in love with.

When I do theatre in New York, I typically only get cast in comedy.

I hope to be still acting when I'm 70 on TV, film and theatre.

I felt that I had done years and years of theatre, and it had been a wonderful journey where I'd learned a lot, but I wasn't as passionate about it as I once was.

I've come to realise that being on 'Strictly' is like being in another theatre company and performing a live production.

I have such a passion for theatre.

I perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, where my race and gender are rarely pointed out.

I'm sad about my theatre career, but I've also fallen a bit in love with TV!

Writing, and its theatre of operation, is better than working shifts packing frozen sausages; that's all I need to think about if I'm having difficulties.

No matter how creatively satisfying theatre might be, it is a poorly-paid medium, which is sad.

I don't think there are roles that would attract me to do a long run in the theatre.

I used to sing when I was into local theatre but gave it up to concentrate on dance.
