History's a resource.

I know that actors and actresses have a great reputation for being very, very selfish, and in some cases, that's very true. But in the theater I find it doesn't help you to be selfish. You sort of have to be selfless in the theater, and the more selfless you are - that doesn't mean don't take care of yourself - but the more you sort of surrender to the work, I find, the better the work is. That's just my experience.

I don't want to spend my life in my 40s feeling bad about being in my 40s, and then all of a sudden I'm 50, and I will have missed a whole decade!

The basic laws of good acting are the same, but everything about the experience is different-your job responsibility, the time you spend on it.

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

To be too knowing is a downfall.

I hope that anyone I worked with wouldn't exploit our relationship.
