I love theater. To have the people onstage right there, to be working in concert with other artists, this is a like a school of fish moving together.

What's in front of you is a whole world of experiences beyond your imagination. Put yourself, and your growth and development, first.

Every role affords me something different in the way of understanding, and that's really why you take these roles, not to show that thing that people talk about of showing what you can do - that has nothing to do with anything.

As artists, we do the work that we do. Receiving an award or not receiving an award in no way diminishes one's talent or value.

Things have a way of moving to the left, and then they move back to the right before somebody finds themselves in the center. That seems to be the nature of the creative world. It's not stagnant. I don't get upset about it.

You have to learn how to care about people without taking on all of their problems.
