There is a dream that the world could be at peace, but that requires that all the folks with arms disarm, or take over all the arms and allow us to trust them.

When I listen to my scene partners and listen to their breathing allows me to be connected to them in scenes. I am not trying to multi task, not trying to talk on the phone, but in my character.

The beauty of the unexpected and unknown, and it's certainly very tantalizing for me as an actor. Other actors can't deal with that; they want to know, but then they make choices and decisions with that knowledge because that knowledge gives them forethought, and they can think about how they want to play something that takes away spontaneity of what they could be doing.

I know from teaching, that actors want to act. Even the subtlest actors can do a little too much.

I love the smell of fried chicken.

I never like to refer back to anything I've done when I'm working on a character, even if that character has the same occupation.

I practice yoga every day. The practice calms my spirit, and allows me to be present.
