I guess one of the reasons I'm doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter how difficult things are, if you continue to move forward in life, you can eventually become victorious, even if it's later in life.

I figure I basically am a ghost. I think we all are.

There is something good about the character of Gomez. I wouldn't trade the association with him for anything or any role that I might have missed.

I think people really want to be happy.

The world is a collective madhouse, its inhabitants are merely faking sanity. It is critical to becoming aware of these aberrations, for pretensions can be the enemy of love.

One of the great things about being recognized is that you receive this feedback from people. It is easy to see how sincere people are. It's nothing fake or jive. They're giving sincere appreciation. And it's not that easy to express.

I love to play for audiences that are simply made of people rather than so-called special people.
