I think from my earliest childhood, I liked to tell stories, put on plays and write things. It's funny to think of it as an "artistic bug" because I didn't necessarily want to be an artist. It's just who I was and how I communicate.

I think, a lot of times, directors assume that whatever they get from you the first time, whether it be at an audition or on set, is all that you can bring.

Too often in the theatre people can't wait for intermission to get some chocolate or something. But with Come Back, Little Sheba I just hope people leave feeling like they've spent a really good two-hours in that house with us.

In New York you can just walk out and be among people. You're on the subway among people, you go to cafes, you can talk to people.

What I did have was an incredible amount of belief in myself.

I'm klutzy, and I don't embarrass easily.

I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.
