I have a child and I don't want to be at work all the time when he's small. I want to spend time with him.

The theater is who I am - it's where I feel the most inspired, the most at home, the most useful.

I put a lot of stock in the written word, and the power of it. That's what I love about acting and reading scripts. Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.

I don't live in Los Angeles and I don't do a lot of superfluous press.

In college, my teachers were usually after me for going after comedy too much, leaning too much in that direction.

I'm not comfortable with getting a job by being at the right Hollywood party; I'm not a terribly sociable creature.

Just when I got out of school, I seemed to get hired for a lot of dramatic things, and people tend to remember you how they've seen you the first time.
