In movement class, you had to lie on the floor and get your alignment in to pass the class.

I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, really in suburbia, so my mother was in community theatre plays.

Some really good things kind of swing both ways and I like to see people that can swing really, really, really sad and horrible and terrible and really, really, really beautiful and funny.

I just loved being divorced from my own wretchedness.

There are probably brilliant people, geniuses, alive today who don't even know how to say, "Hello, how do you do?" because their minds are absorbed with electronic images.

Plays are so much more special if they've never ever had a production, but I think you can really work on a play and make it better with each production.

What I loved about the acting class was that you got to think all day long about a person that wasn't you, and figure out why they were sad and what they wanted, what they dreamed.
