Look, I live in the modern world as much as anyone else.

You learn an enormous lot through failure.

For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot.

It seems like people increasingly just can't be by themselves because they're so used to having an epicenter on the Internet that actually exists for other people. Until someone clicks onto your Facebook page, it doesn't mean anything.

When you're directing something, you absolutely have to be involved in all layers of the process.

The notion of fate and destiny is a very Greek concept. Working in the theater you do think a lot about that, because as a storyteller you do think, 'At what point was this always going to happen and what part have I got a hand in being able to change things?'

It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.
