"I mean thereâ€™s a certain finality about a movie, when itâ€™s done itâ€™s done â€“ that raised eyebrow in that moment will always be that raised eyebrow. Whereas a play only lives as a blueprint for a performance on any given night. Thereâ€™s a reason you can eat popcorn and watch a movie and you canâ€™t do that in the theatre. Theatre you have to lean in, you have to tune your ear to the stage and participateI respond to heat. And blood. And humanity. The cold experience is not for me. Iâ€™ve always enjoyed all the real people in a room together in the theatre."

-- Tracy Letts
