The only thing that gets me through any type of pain, emotional or physical, is to make it worthwhile by putting it into my work.

I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.

Bill Pullman is older than Aaron Eckhart - although I was older too - and the age difference changes the play. My perspective on those issues had changed a lot. Without going into nerdy details about that play, there was something that still stuck with me. I still had the same joy in that dialogue and David Mamet's rhythm in terms of his writing. I felt like there was still something to explore.

It's fun to stay at the Y! M! C! A!

Theater is like going to the gym for actors.

I am forever a romantic. I try to bring that into my work. I try not to be fooled by romance. Or work.

I am forever grateful that I got some training in the theater - it reduces performance anxiety.
