IS: It’s so true, with acting; it doesn’t matter whether you are an extrovert or an introvert. Even if you are an introvert you can be a very good actor, because you can hide behind that character. I was an introvert most of my high school and college life as I recall, very quiet and kept to myself, but when I was on the stage I felt that I came alive, and I think that is true for a lot of actors.
EH: What is it that is unique about theater?
IS: I think it’s something you don’t do by yourself; it’s something that you have to involve others in. Even if you are doing a one man show, you still have a producer, a light crew, sound, whatever. It’s a team effort. It’s unique in that respect. It is a team sport. With painting, composing, writing, it’s a solo thing.
