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

I've been on sets where things weren't relaxed because someone was creating tension for no reason.

To look in the eyes of audiences and see the kind of naughty glee that they got with being on the inside, the audience becomes your co-conspirators.

Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions youd rather not know the answers to.

The only thing worse than a loser is someone who won't admit he played badly.

To me, getting up every single night and trying to reach out to an audience, and trying to dig deeper and further in the play to serve the writer and to understand yourself in that context is how you continue to grow and learn.

It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way.
