Jean Stapleton: I, of all people, did not work for stardom. Stardom isn't a goal. The goal is to work, to express your talent. (edit) Jean Stapleton: (talking about her favorite thing about working on the stage) There's more than one. First, you do a piece of material that begins and ends and has a flow; it's not chopped up as in a film, where in an extreme case you might be doing the last scene of the script the first day that you go to work, and you don't know enough about the character you're playing. In the theatre, it's a craft and you're going from beginning to end and you experience the whole flow of the play. (edit) Jean Stapleton: On the last day of our five-day work week, we did two performances and we had an audience. It was similar to theatre; we went from beginning to end, and it was very pleasing. (edit) Jean Stapleton: I think it's more fulfilling to be working with people. Lots of colors appear when you're working with other people. It's a more natural form. (edit) Jean Stapleton: In the theatre, it's a craft and you're going from beginning to end and you experience the whole flow of the play. (edit)
