When I have failed as an actor I've always thought it was my fault. But when I direct something, I wouldn't want the actors to think it was their fault.

My life before children I don't really remember. I've heard references to it, but I really don't remember.

I'm more comfortable with whatever's wrong with me than my father was whenever he felt he failed or didn't measure up to the standard he set.

You can't take a play someone has directed and do whatever you want with it.

The most evocative thing to me is probably when a writer and a group of performers can collectively put together something compelling that asks the really simple question: 'How do we live?'

Most of the women that I like have a haunted quality - they're sort of like women who live in a haunted house by themselves.

I'm not a very skeptical person.
