The process of doing a play is an organic one and the process of doing a film is totally un-organic.

Im not revolted by Washington.

It's so easy for us to misperceive and see the things in others that we want to see. And, when we're wrong, and often we're dead wrong, we miss the truth.

I dont categorize characters into one syllable. These are fully-rounded characters that I dont judge; I just play them.

Over the years, I've been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I've tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship with audiences would be protected.

I was terrible in my first play. After that experience, I had to face that I wasnt good enough to play with the big boys. I had to go away and learn, so I worked in regional theater for three years. I even understudied at the Kennedy Center.

As the years have gone on, I find one of the dangers of watching dailies... is you fall in love with moments.
