The director respects what they've hired you for and chosen you for: to do the part and respect what you're doing.

You draw on whatever’s relevant to the part you’re playing; it makes it more personal.

I don’t get into these long-winded heavy discussions about character - do we do this or that or what. At the end of the day, what you gotta do is just go out there and do it.

When you feel that you can't fight it, you just go for it. When it comes to the arts, passion should always trump common sense.

One regret I have: I didn't get as much of the family history as I could have for the kids.

Sometimes if you have financial restraints, it's a benefit. It forces you to come up with a more creative way.

Reputation, you know – a lifetime to build, seconds to destroy.
