Well, in the theater, I think you're actually more responsible for what is going on onstage as a director than you are in film.

Plays never feel like the right thing to do at the time.

When you're playing someone who really lived, you carry a burden, a burden to be accurate.

I feel like the need to want to create and make something is stronger than the difficulties are going through.

Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.

My image of Jesus is someone who is exciting...Were he alive today, he would be causing havoc!

There's something in the very small minutia of life that tells us something about the big, big picture that we see every day all over the place, and so I think the more specific and creative and revelatory you are in the micro, the more powerful the macro will be.
