It's very hard to be a playwright because it's very competitive.

As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.

To criticize Facebook is to criticize the telephone.

I know some amazing actors who are not mortified every moment of the day, so my feeling is that maybe you don't have to be a wreck to be good.

There’s something strange about theater. My characters consistently demonize elitism, but of course it’s taking place in a theater where only so many people can see it. I’ve been in silly popcorn movies - the kind of thing that as an actor you might feel embarrassed about - but those movies reach many more people.

It's really hard to copy another actor and be successful. In fact, that's usually the reason people are not good, because they're copying something they've seen, but, for some reason with their face and their body, it doesn't work.

I personally don’t feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn’t if I tried anyway.
