As a boy I'd always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn't what one did for a living. I got over that.
A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play you have all day.
