There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

I was never very happy with performing; it didn't turn me on much.

Everything changes with age. The parts change with age, your feelings about them change, roles that I would've wanted to play 10 years ago, I don't want to play now.

Forget the career, do the work. If you feel what you are doing is on line and you're going someplace and you have a vision and you stay with it, eventually things will happen.

I think what you see [in Salome the play backstage] is an artist having this fit of temperament.

If you get all tangled up, just tango on.

At this point in my career, I don't have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.
