The discipline of live theater - doing the same perfect thing night after night, eight times a week - never ceases to amaze me

Babies just change everything. You have to become super-selfless and super-tired and super-amenable to change. They just change all the time.

Babies laughing is like opium.

I don't like to be disparaging about my past roles. That's the only taboo that I don't like to cross.

We're trying to get as many people to become interested in seeing it, but if you like the theater and you're interested in seeing what live theater looks like in New York, you probably already set your DVR. It's gonna be a hard ask to get a bunch of college-basketball fans to tune in for three hours to watch the Tonys.

That movie [A Series of Unfortunate Events] told four books in two hours, and we have two hours per book. So we have eight hours to tell four books, and if people watch we'll get to tell more of them. There's only thirteen books, so there's only going to be two more seasons, but that allows for a lot of time to be in character and to maintain character.

I don't know, on a sitcom, and in theatre especially, you have to really be listening to an audience. And if you're losing them, you can hear the sniffs, and the playbills shuffling and whatnot.
