It was intimidating to play a deaf character. There's a whole culture in the deaf community and I really wanted to know a lot about that and honor it in the work.

What I'd really like to do is do a film or two a year and then do theater in New York the rest of the year.

I'm NOT lost, they just moved my street.

One of the great thing about New York is the neighborhood - you go for your walk in the morning and you know your dry cleaning lady, you know the guy in your coffee shop - that's your neighborhood and I love that.

There's no changing your mind about whom you love. That's part of the tough thing about being in love - it's sort of undeniable.

I can only pay my electric bill for my last two years on my acting.

To me, a great love story is a great love story, and it doesn't matter what gender is involved.
