I think film is collaboration, and I always want to hear everyone's input.

I've seen so many people in my life struggle tremendously to fit into those boxes or to live up to those expectations or pressures put upon them by whatever society's concept of 'normal' is. I get frustrated by rules and regulations. I'm frustrated by things that are exclusive to one particular life choice.

Everything I did growing up was with that as the real goal - doing Broadway; doing theatre. That was always the big thrill for me.

The saddest and strangest part of Hollywood to me is the fact that millions of dollars are spent on developing works that never get made. It doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand it.

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.

Don't be too afraid of failure to learn what you need to learn.

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.
