I believe in things that move people, if the audience isn't deeply caught up and moved to either laughter or tears then I don't think it is theater.

It is so important to get respect for what you do and at the same time give it.

Getting work in theater has always been sort of cyclical.

I talked with Brian Stokes Mitchell, who agreed with me that if you have a gift there is always stuff to do.

There is some sadness for me now about acting because it used to be that there was a reverence for actors.

You cant just trust to luck; you have to really listen to what that character is telling you.

When I see what I want, I do it.
