I wish I could always look like I've just finished a really good laugh.

You'll never have any mental muscle if you don't have any heavy stuff to pick up.

I do feel that if it's not on the page, there's no hope of it getting to the stage. You really can't take a cat and turn it into a dog, or try and get lemons off an apple tree, or what have you. Sometimes there's this real naïveté that people possess, where they want you to infuse a scene with a certain quality, and it's like an apology. "I read the script, didn't you? What's the agenda here?"

To me, there's no greater reward than being around people you care about and can be present with.

I'm not a bad parent and partner, even if I make a thousand mistakes.

When I was about seven, I started touring the globe as part of New York's La MaMa theater company - without my parents!

I think fun is an important part of the entertainment industry, and it should be. Anybody who's not incorporating some of that into their work needs to take a break, go away, and have an attitude adjustment.
