We can live tough lives, but the human spirit is stronger, seemingly, than anything. There is redemption, hope, and love. All different forms of heartbreak, but beyond all that there is hope, there is love. There is beauty and bliss.

It's tough to watch a movie you're in - you put everything into it, you want everything to work, and you never know until you see it all together.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

What I respect as far as in myself and in others is the spirit of just doing it. For better or worse, it may work and it may not, but I'm going to go for it. Ultimately I probably prefer to be respected for that than whether it works out or not, either winning or losing.

I don't think many actors are the best judge of careers. I think generally we have good instincts about what we can do in terms of acting. And often they become directors, which I don't want to be.

I've always felt embraced by the Broadway community even before I felt like I earned it.

My father taught me that losing your temper is a self-indulgent act.
