There are certain things you learn to do as a parent - using every single part of your body because you're multitasking all the time. You're holding the baby and you're closing the door with your left foot.

You know, I don't think, you know, therapy never ends, really.

You try to follow suit and the directors I work with, like Sidney Lumet (on film in Before The Devil Knows You're Dead and TV in 100 Centre Street) who thinks actors hung the moon, thinks they can do anything, but he also works really quickly, the same like Clint Eastwood, and so you better also do your homework, you know?

If your body is excited to do something, that's what you should be doing. Or if it really scares you, you should be doing it.

It happens a lot, but I also think of it as not so much like being abandoned by a director 'cause they're worried about a technical aspect, but I think actually that's my job.

I'd love to do a costume drama movie. For no other reason, except that it sounds fun to me.

I come from a working-class background in Queens, New York.
