The way I work emotionally is: I don't ever try to cry. I try not to, which is what for me produces organic emotion.

The reason why I like theater is because it's a long journey, and no matter what role you play, we are all in it together.

[In New York,] when you say you're an actor, there's a certain level of respect that goes with that.

My first exploration through art was really through music - I've trained classically with piano for about ten years.

Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.

I admire fashion and I respect it greatly, but I don't necessarily follow trends. I never really have. I just wear what I like to wear. I really like colors, and there are some things I wear and don't care what anybody says about it being in style or not. I wear it anyway.

Shakespeare teaches you how to act. You come out of this process as a better actor. It's just the nature of the words he writes.
