I don't know if I ever really bought into the eternal damnation bit.

I'm fairly competant as a director and actor, but I am Mr. Neurotic as a writer. I just don't have enough confidence in my abilities to take criticism well. I take it personally. Start with 'It's a masterpiece,' and then tell me what you think could be changed.

What you get is what you get. What you do with what you get, that’s more the point.

I wouldn't say I'm a method actor. I do research when I feel I don't have enough experience for the part I'm playing.

I grew up in New York, and I have that in me, that be-honest-at-all-costs, don't b.s. me attitude. I say, If you've got something to say about me, say it to my face. And then we'll either talk about it or fight about it.

I've long ago compromised my eight hours a night.

New York is not conductive to theater. New York does not encourage its young. It does not encourage experimentation.
