Hamlet is a remarkably easy role. Physically it's hard because it tends to be about three hours long and you're talking the whole time. But it's a simple role and it adapts itself very well, because the thing about Hamlet is, we all are Hamlet.

I live with an 18-month-old Jack Russell named Chicken. He moved in about 15 months ago, and it was very hard at first because I work a lot and he doesn't.

Part of what I enjoy about the theatre and acting is that sense of history.

The best gig is the one you've got.

I am very good with dialects, but the two that I can't do for some reason are the South African and Australian.

I'm kind of an obsessive-compulsive person, like, neat obsessive.

I didn't think that a career in theater was very realistic so I thought the only thing I could make money doing and still be somewhat artistic was, god help me, advertising.
