If you look back through history in the United States, there have been very few landslide elections. Half the country always voted for someone else.

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

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

You risk working with this director, you risk making this movie, you risk working with another actor you don't know. It makes your heart beat faster. And it keeps you interested.

I'm lucky if I find one movie a year that's worth doing, and when I do find one, it usually only takes 20-30 days to shoot.

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

I feel it's a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift.
