I try to have all my characters have a sense of humor. To me the most interesting thing is a desperate character. I think desperation is funny.

I've never won an award for anything, and I think it's weird. I mean, that's really cool but it's strange to think you could get an award for acting. I always thought that was strange.

I'm not very good in a classroom sort of setting. I never was. I was kind of a clown in high school - got suspended a lot.

Growing up, I wasn't an athlete or anything like that. The only place I felt like I belonged was in the theater.

I never thought I would get married and have kids. I thought I was going to be a gypsy actor, traveling all over the world playing the great roles. I ended up having a kid very young, and it put things in perspective.

I seem to be able to get along with anybody when I work because I really enjoy being there.

I always wanted to have a career that would keep me at home in New York so I can work in the theater all the time and be involved in the creative process from the ground up.
