When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.

I've worked with some teachers and coaches over the years, but I didn't really study theater or technique or voice or any of that stuff extensively.

What can I say? I hate Bush; I despise him and his entire administration, everything he represents and everything he has tried to do, not only internationally, which is horrific, but domestically as well.

To work with a director that has emotional commitment and passion toward the characters, and the piece, and the experiences, it only enriches your work.
