I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.

I was a very good baseball and football player, but my father always told me I was much more interested in how I looked playing baseball or football than in actually playing. There's great truth in that.

I mean, a lot of time rehearsals are taken up with other things other than preparing a character.

I've always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.

There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.

Actors generally get to do things you probably shouldn't do in real life - well, at least as much as one might like to or be tempted to. Though I suppose a lot of actors just go ahead and do it, don't they?

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.
