After graduation, I was floundering in L.A., doing stand-up comedy and working in a shoe store in the Valley.

I've never heard of a situation where, because somebody had a particular political belief, they didn't get a part. I think it's a bit of a myth.

When I look around at Broadway and the West End, theatre is becoming an exclusive club.

If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.

I'm aware that, from the outside, this looks like I've got quite an ego.

I just want it to be better, I just want to be better, but this is very encouraging.

There's something very interesting about the way each individual actor approaches stuff.
