Nowadays, you really have to make an impression quick and I think this does give people a chance to show off what they've got. It's very difficult these days. You really have to stand out quickly. I think it's also so diverse that there's enough material for everybody.

I'm always interested in something that Helen Mirren is doing. I thought her series Prime Suspect was unbelievable. I think she might be my favorite actress.

I think actors really like to know what does a casting agent really think or what does a composer really think.

Don't chew gum at an audition and wear really bad clothes. That doesn't work. You need to hear that! You need to hear practical advice.

I'll see anything that Humphrey Bogart did. Weird, quirky, I know but that's the way it is.

I have great respect for Craig Lucas. I absolutely adore his sensibility.
