I realized that I wanted to play characters and do traditional theatre. I wanted to make believe again. I like putting on a costume and pretending to be someone else for a few hours, and I have a great respect for playwrights.
I personally take cues directly from the script, then I like to surprise the other actors. But you must maintain control on a level and see how far you can go up, down or out emotionally. You have to balance the craft with spontaneity.
I get bored at the theatre a lot because I notice that there`s not always a connection between the actors. They may be technically proficient, but they`re not surprising each other. I`m thrilled by actors who make choices that are surprising.
