It was very much about performances, the whole ensemble thing was just great – everybody working together. Sometimes it didn’t feel like a film set. It wasn’t technically driven, it was very, very enjoyable.

I think for me with theater, I need to take a break and then fall in love with it again. And then go do it again.
