In the theater, there's an emphasis on the singular voice. You know, it's your play. And in television, there's so much institutional involvement. So you end up having to negotiate with a lot of people, and that provides a kind of wear and tear on the spirit.

Watching people toss all caution to the wind, who are ready to put their lives on the line for a dream, is something that is accessible.
