I have no problem with violence, I have no problem playing horrible people.

You rarely pay the rent by doing Shakespeare or Ibsen.

The best work I can do is to take myself as much as I can out of it and get it as simple as I can.

In my prayers every day, which are a combination of Hebrew prayers and Shakespeare and Sondheim lyrics and things people have said to me that I've written down and shoved in my pocket, I also say the name of every person I've ever known who's passed on.

No one is going to beat the crap out of me more than me.

I've been very blessed in my personal life and in my career and I have never been ungrateful for what I have.

I hope that something can be done in our piece that reflects on the attention that needs to be paid to the most vulnerable people, like refugees in the world right now, that have to not be politicized, but saved, literally.
