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

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.

I guess what I learned about myself is I'm a bit of a socialist; I want everyone on the set to get equal treatment and credit.

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.

With any independent film, it's all about getting everyone's schedules in line and everything together at the same time and just doing the best you can do when that happens - if it happens.

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 think we all learn by doing rather than thinking about doing.
