To be too knowing is a downfall.

I believe that no matter what you do in life, if you learn the basics through theater, it will help you in everything else - problem solving, communication, discipline, all of that stuff.

I don't mind aging. I mean, my whole thing is, it's just a privilege to age.

At school I was always trying to con my teachers into letting me act out book reports instead of writing them.

My parents were divorced and I would spend weekends with my father.

I enjoy learning about different periods and people, and then taking what's universal about the human condition and seeing where it matches up. No matter where you are, certain things unite everybody.

I think everyone's journey through this crazy, weird, wild, wonderful area of work named acting is really their own. And if you're going for something that isn't yours, you're wasting time. You could be focused on your own work instead of thinking about somebody else.
