Style, no matter how outrageous it is, is still an expression of someone's personality. And my personality is somewhere stuck in the classics.

I think it’s really, really important to mix it up as an actor, to try to get as much kind of varied experience as you can, not only for your own personal growth as an actor but for the audience to keep them guessing about what you’re going to do.

As soon as you know what you're doing, you're doing it wrong. That's what I find with acting. As soon as it becomes padded, it becomes pat.

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

He was very supportive of me, ... He saw every single play I did in New York. Ill never forget looking out into the audience and watching my brother, who was 40 years younger than my grandfather, sleeping in his chair during some of my early plays. My grandfather Alex never fell asleep.

I think that everything I've ever done at some point is part of someone else's legacy.

I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.
