I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out

But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.

If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character

The perfection in theater is that it's over the second it's done

It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don't get to the mainstream.

Not to be offensive, not to be capricious, not to be arbitrary, not to be neurotic, not to be an actor outer, you're just trying to get in and you're given so little time to get in gently, but it's always hard.

I demand minimal for paid rehearsal and not always six weeks either.
