When I take a role I wonder how I can use it to find out who I really am. I don't think I'm so rare a person.

I've always been creative, with a huge amount of energy.

Once you become a producer, you're really selling something. It is a control issue, because you don't really know how it's going to pan out, but the creative control makes it work it.

I want to be in a position where I feel comfortable selling an idea.

I have always wanted to do a book about actors because I think that the death of a character is a tremendously emotional experience.

There is nothing like understanding that your work has touched somebody. That is the sole purpose of acting. To be able to move and inspire. If I can do that for one person it is already changing the world and that makes me feel accomplished.

New York is just New York. It's a hard city, it's a hard city to live in. It's a desperate city. It's filled with scam artists and people who are always looking for a way in and a way out and the majority of people have to really negotiate their way through that jungle to get to the other side; the other side being a place of tranquility and peace and home and safety.
