When you decide you're going to join a project, it's all about the gift you're giving the audience.

I started on the stage when I was 13 and I consider the stage my home.

One of my teachers says the sound you hear in the center of the universe is laughter. I don't know if it's true, but if you do something and 30 years later it still produces laughter, that's a fantasy you can't make up.

Hollywood is a very interesting place to deal with. And having been a theatre person, I was quite surprised by the slipperiness of some people in Holly-weird. There was a part of me that just said, 'If this is the way the game is played, I'm not sure I want to play it.

I reckon I probably worked for Euripides a long time ago. I do think we have many Earth walks and it's possible that he's an old friend. Does that sound too stupid for words? Quite frankly I think I've been an actor in so many lifetimes.

Every once in a while in an actor's life, a cast comes together.

Hollywood can be brutal, inhuman, the opposite of what the theatre is, and I had little desire to be part of it.
