The hardest thing is never what you think it's going to be.

In some ways I'm oddly traditional, I've been a serial monogamist since I was 12. I've always tried to work hard and get good grades and be a good person, but I feel like I've also always had a strange defiance of authority or the status quo, I've never understood why things always have to be just one way.

The part that I felt most comfortable with going in was just working with actors and trying to make them feel comfortable and safe so they could find the performance. That part felt organic to me.

It's exciting to take control of your future instead of waiting for the phone to ring.

I often think a play gets better and better as you hit a stride because you really find new things. One of the great privileges of doing theater is you get so many at-bats - you get to try it eight times a week and every audience is different, everyday is different.

I'm always amazed that if you pick up a script of something you played years ago, it all comes back so quickly. Even in your body, you remember your blocking and how it felt.

I always cry at weddings, they're beautiful, and I'm always moved.
