Before I ever start a job that I'm really excited about, I usually have some sleepless nights or weeks or months. But that anticipation for a person like me... I don't do so well with a lot of time off.

I really like when I read a scene and it scares me. That makes me excited.

The only thing that matters is the theater!

One of my mother's friends said to me, 'Your ex-boyfriends didn't stand a chance with you and your mother.' And I think I probably was unfair to them because she was the first person and the last person I called about every single thing. Sorry, ex-boyfriends.

I had never done a 90-minute play with no intermission, so it is a bit like you get onto the train and you don't get off until it's over - and it's over very quickly, so don't miss a moment of it. That experience is very rare and specific so don't miss a minute, because there aren't very many minutes of it.

When I was teeny tiny, I definitely had a voice that didn't quite match the way I looked at five.

It's very hard when you're doing a new play that you believe in, and you want to tell the story in the best way possible.
