I was 7, and I remember being given a part in a play and thinking, This is exciting.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.

You can act truthfully or you can lie. You can reveal things about yourself or you can hide. Therefore, the audience recognizes something about themselves or they don't -- You hope they don't leave the theatre thinking that was nice...now where's the cab?'

You can lull the paying customers as long as they get slapped.

I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.

I mean, language fascinates me anyway, and different words have different energies and you can change the whole drive of a sentence.

My idea of a real treat is Magic Mountain without standing in line.
