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

People in theatre work harder than anyone in the world - as far as I'm concerned - as far as sheer output of energy and the rigor and excellence that they maintain doing something every day, or twice a day.

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.

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

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

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

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