The first people that have the information are the hair and makeup ladies and the wardrobe people, because they often have to plan out the clothes: the things that are gonna get bloody, and the different kinds of gunshot wounds they're gonna have to do. They often have more of a preparation, more time, than we do. You can definitely feel on set the actors trying to get that information, and they're of sworn to secrecy.

It's not like I have a master plan or anything.

It's fun to play a character when you can't concern yourself with how sympathetic they are.

The interesting thing about Bettie Page that I discovered was to leave the mystery. She always retained a little mystery. Let there be some unknowns.

Donnie Brasco was great, but the energy on the set made it kinda hard to get in there and have an opinion.

When I leave the theater I can always hear people talking about the character, and everyone always says, "You know, I know someone like her." And I always think, Everyone knows someone like the characters; nobody is like the character. Nobody wants to admit that they are a little bit like that.

I think that's the best way to see things, especially this kind of play where there's no pyrotechnics, it's literally just people talking.
