Quote

In far Eastern Russia, there's just some towns that time has forgotten. I guess they used to maybe be industrial or something that are now there's just lots of rusty hulks of buildings and a lot of people wandering around, a lot of alcoholism and violence because people have got nothing to do and no work. Yet people were very generous.

I don't like being told that's where you, you know, if you walk on set and somebody was okay, you're here and you're going to walk over there on this line. And my reaction is always how do you know? How do you know that's what I'm going to do? How do any of us know?

I think theatre reminds us what we're doing as actors, because every night and every matinee day, you have an audience telling you what's working and what's not. And that's very good for us as actors to hone our skills.
