Being with a kid always takes you to being a kid somehow, and they really are showing me a childhood I might not have had in some way.

I know some really great actors who are pretty judgmental people, pretty critical people. But they're great actors. When they're acting, that's the craft.

Acting's difficult for me because I think you have to be passionately involved in what you're doing.

It's important to say that actors can't act alone, it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other.

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

In order for something to be born, something has to die.That's not always, but there is something about that that I find to be true. That is, it's a natural thing.

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.
