We have to band together, but the thing in America is that people are terrified of losing their jobs... Maybe California needs to secede. The only thing that'll make any difference is the money...

Becoming artistic directors is an enormous responsibility and not one that we take lightly.

It was only when I realized how actors have the power to move people that I decided to pursue acting as a career.

I love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

I think we should all feel lucky and blessed that people are still, in this day and age, getting in their cars with other people and driving to a location and paying money to sit in a theater and watch a play.

I'm the age I am, but my skin is in pretty good condition because I've been consistent with my skincare.

I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself.

Wouldn't it be nice if the internet blew up?

When you fall in love with someone, you're not really changing at all. You're really just reliving something that already happened at some point.

Image
As an actor I suppose you're constantly observing. I don't sit in restaurants making notes, I don't live my life in order to then feed it into my work.
