Wit & Attitude Quote by Kristin Davis

There is a sly humility in Kristin Davis calling her collaborators "crazy, creative people" instead of, say, "visionaries" or "geniuses". It’s the kind of praise actors learn to give when they want to sound grateful without sounding self-important. The word "theatre" does a lot of cultural work here: it signals sweat, craft, and community over celebrity, red carpets, or the frictionless polish of film and TV. Davis isn’t just reminiscing about a job she liked; she’s staking a claim to an ecosystem where intensity is normal and sincerity isn’t embarrassing.

"Just loved" is doing defensive labor, too. It downplays ambition, implying an almost accidental joy, as if she stumbled into the best room in the world. That’s a familiar posture for performers, especially women in entertainment, who are often expected to be likable before they’re allowed to be serious. The theatre becomes a safe alibi for devotion: she can admit obsession as "love" rather than hunger.

The subtext is about belonging. Theatre is the last mainstream art space where adults routinely act out loud feelings in a room full of strangers and call it work. Naming the people as "crazy" frames that intensity as playful instead of threatening; it normalizes the weirdness required to make live performance happen night after night. In a culture that rewards curated cool, Davis is praising the uncurated: the messy, collective, slightly unhinged joy of making something in real time.
