I don't pay attention to the ratings.

In the theater, as an actor, you're welcoming people into your house.

I prefer to think of the audience as a single living organism with which I am sharing a singular, never-to-be-repeated experience.

I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it's meant to come.

Things tend to come when they are meant to come. I know that sounds kind of like spiritual and cheesy, but I think things come when they're meant to come.

My mom just didn't put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.

My mother had been an actress and we came from that world in New York, the theater world and the downtown sort of theater scene, and so I guess we didn't really have what you'd call like a Hollywood kind of life at all.
