One of the things we're taught as actors is restraint - don't jump off the cliff.

I talk to the universe all the time.

I've played almost every lead character from Henry VI to Othello. I'm dying to tackle Richard III sometime.

To me, the job of a playwright is to explore and bring to light our lives. You can't hold back; you have to give in to this. Sometimes, you say things people don't want to hear.

I've always tried to explore the humorous aspects of life.

It's not like I played a villain and everyone goes 'ugh, there's that guy again'.

Artists should always think of themselves as cosmic instruments for storytelling.
