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

I open myself up every time I walk on screen and give you everything that I am. There are parts of me that are in every movie that I've done. That to me is what my job is.

Sometimes you walk away from playing somebody and you think, "Wow that was far as from my own experience as I can possibly be." And sometimes you walk away thinking, "Wow. There are qualities in that character that I didn't realize I had." And those can be both interesting and uncomfortable.

We have to start listening to nature now.

I guess Ive been training in the theater for as long as I can remember.

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.

The most important definition of an actor, the job of the actor, is to serve the writer, not yourself. Way too many actors serve themselves.
