It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.

What I love about the theater is that you know who you're acting for: your audience. And the thing I find really hard in film is, you don't. The audience is invisible. And we're sitting there, hoping there's other people out there.

To those who voted for me, thank you. And to those who didn't, better luck next year!

I am the age that I am and I am trying to do the best with what I got.

Film just chews up actors like nobody's business, and I'm not particularly interested in being chewed up. I think the camera can only look at somebody's face for so long. I guess you have to accept the roles you think are right at the time. You can build a career, but these days there doesn't seem to be that much interest in people being actors.

I think good theaters are really important. They allow you to exist in a space with other people.

I don't have a sense of entitlement or that I deserve this. You'd be surprised at the lack of competition between nominees - I think a lot of it's imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now?
