I never like to be the same, whether it be comedy or drama, funny or serious.

I'm from the South, so I tend to tell stories. That's how we express ourselves.

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.

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.

Sometimes directors may not give you words, you know? They may not talk at all! You've just got to use your radar to figure out how you can get to the center and not lose yourself, but still be directed at the same time.

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

I just love kids. I always have.
