I've tried in my career to do most everything, because it all intrigues me. And I've found the first time I work in a new form, I discover all the things that make that an exciting medium. I've been very busy most of my career. I've had very few vacations.

In all my years of performing, no audience member has ever actually assaulted me. I consider this to be the singular triumph of my performing career.
