Everybody has the right to marry the person they love and be represented as a couple and family... It's something that people will look back on in years to come and say, 'I can't believe it took so long for us to recognize this.' It'll be like segregation and giving women the right to vote.

You always absorb a lot from a great actor. What you want, as an actor, no matter where you are in your career, is a partner who's going to bring everything they have to the scene.

The audience doesn't come to see you, they come to see themselves.

For me, the most important thing is that I feel comfortable with the actor that I'm working with and I'm able to talk to them.

I don't consider myself very brave in any sense. I'm interested in this kind of behavior. My job is to try to make it realistic and emotionally resonant. That's the most challenging thing, to bring emotional resonance to what you do as an actor.

If you are at odds with the director, neither one of you is going to get anywhere. You really do have to be able to make both of you happy.

I like that sense of family in my workplace, having the same pair of eyes to look into.
