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.

There are an infinite number of ways to be moved in the theater.

I like cluttered, old, dark-wood antiques. I like character.

I'm hoping maybe people like working with me because I like what I do for a living and I want to have a good time.

I want to be true to the character and maintain some consistency and give the audience what they love while at the same time keeping things fresh and grow the character.

Very often a job will come along that speaks to the place you're in as a person at that very moment. And usually once I've done it I feel like that part is over.

I am a fierce patriot, and I try to be outspoken about my beliefs.
