It's always nice when you do something and it's well received as opposed to the other way which God knows happens to everybody. When the good times come around, you take a deep breath, appreciate it, but not take it too seriously.

Where I did feel a difference is learning to just work in a different way so that your resources are not completely depleted so that you don't have anything to give to your child when you go home, and fortunately I've been working long enough that I know how to make that shift so that I don't compromise my work or compromise my relationships; not compromising parenting is really the biggest difference.

I find that things don't bother me as much. If I had a bad day on set, it sort of just rolls of my back in a way that it didn't before. So that's where the biggest difference is, stuff that used to get under my skin or that I would worry about or be anxious about just isn't a problem. So in some ways, having a child has been very liberating. I found it very liberating.

Fear, anxiety and neurosis: that's just in the suitcase when you're an actor.

I'm very hard on my bags because I tend to carry a lot of stuff with me.

When your life is being threatened there's an instinctive urge to fight. You fight for the time you have, for your relationships.

What I love about a play is that it's such an investment because only time can create a lot of what happens onstage.
