When I was younger, I was actually looking forward to getting older, to have more insight, more understanding.

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.

You learn an enormous lot through failure.

The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.

If I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.

When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.

You will not leave the theater with nothing to talk about. For me, comedy and tragedy when you get them both in one evening, that's the most satisfying.
