When I look at the work, if it speaks to me, I'll say 'yes' and if the work doesn't resonate with me, I'll politely decline.

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.

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.

I am just myself, and who I am is a lot.

I believe the universe conspires to give you everything you desire.

Historically, if you look at great civilizations, why do they crumble? Is it because of what's outside or because of something internal? It's always internal. It is.
