I don't have a television, and I'm just not too up on television.

The life of an actor can be very enviable.

I never grew up thinking, 'One day I will play so and so' because I wasn't expecting to be an actor at all.

In an amusement park, you can go on a roller coaster that carries you up and down, or you can go on another kind of ride that whirls you around in a circle. Similarly, there are different sorts of entertaining experiences in the theater.

My father was a jazz listener, and I think, at least before I was 5, I was not so into that. Although there were records that emphasized percussion that I liked, like Baby Dodds.

But because we've all been readers, we know what the experience is like, and we hope that what certain writers have given to us, we will give to someone.

You're always fighting the contradiction between the supposed intimacy of a two-person conversation and the blunt reality that you're trying to sell the play to people who are sitting maybe too far away from you.
