There's something grueling but very appealing about rough, to-the-bone material in a low budget context. There's less between you and the material. There are less people. There is less time. There's often less technology. You have to concentrate very intensely, and you jump in a little deeper because there's nothing in your way... but there are challenges.

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.

Courtroom dramas can be boring.

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

For me to have the opportunity to stay with one character for, God willing, a long period of time, is really exciting.

A magnetic personality doesn't necessarily indicate a good heart.

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.
