Acting is very much like a child making believe. I'm not one to become a character, but I fall in love with the character. It's like having faith; you're going to be that person for a while.

The first thing I look for is the humor, because you can tell what the character's fears and insecurities are through the humor.

What I love about theatre is that it disappears as it happens.

I don't call myself an artist. I act. That's what I do.

I've always had this deep and chronic sense of dissatisfaction.

I actually would love to live in New York. But I need land; I need space. I'd love to move to a place where I could have a lot of land and a goat.

I get bored at the theatre a lot because I notice that there's not always a connection between the actors. They may be technically proficient, but they're not surprising each other. I'm thrilled by actors who make choices that are surprising.
