Sometimes I think women are lucky because they can develop in ways men can't. The old-boy network may be oppressive to women, but it actually stunts men in terms of personal growth.

With theatre, you have to be ready for anything.

I'm learning in my old age that the only thing you can do to keep your sanity is to stay in the moment.

Sometimes I say I feel more like a dancer than an actor, because there are things implied about being an actor that I don't really like. I feel more comfortable with the word 'performer'. I like being the thing. I like being the doer. There's a factualness to it. And then certain resonances happen out of how you apply yourself physically.

I don't worry so much about the audience. I want them very much to be involved and enjoy the movie, but I try to just inhabit the character in a full way, where I can create a personal stake.

I don't want people to know anything about me, because that's not important. I'm more interested in the me that takes shape through the characters.

I want to work with people who are good at what they do, and people who are passionate.
