When it comes to parenthood everyone thinks they will be terrible at it. We don't think we have it in us. Then you find out that you do, which truly is a miracle in life.

I became conflicted in my late teens.

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

The more articulate somebody is, the more suspicious I am of them. I like to feel that the important things remain unsaid.

The theater is a need for me. It's a terrible attraction, something I'm compelled to do. And one derives a form of nourishment from the theater which you can never get from films. Making films weakens you in some way. With the theater, the work itself is a regenerative process.

At a certain age it just became apparent to me that this was probably the work that I would have to do.

As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.
