My happiest times in the theater are when I do ensemble pieces. I really got into theater because of that closeness.

I certainly went to New York because I was searching. Most people who go to New York are searching.

I just love kids. I always have.

I don't like to read reviews. Even the good ones you start to analyze: 'Oh, did I do that? I have to make sure I do that again.

All I can say is that I've always felt like a very old soul. When I was 3, I felt 60.

Being funny is a symptom of what's underneath. You're pumping out all that energy because something else is going on inside you, some opposing force, something uncomfortable.

I know I always had a lot of energy growing up and I had to put it somewhere. Theater allowed me to really feel things, to laugh, to cry, to explode outward. I could do anything and it was totally accepted and appreciated. If I hadn't gone into the theater, I probably would have been a psychotic killer.
