Image
It always amazes me to think that every house on every street is full of so many stories so many triumphs and tragedies, and all we see are yards and driveways.

Image
Taking power away from a man is a dangerous thing. Someone always pays.
Glenn Close
Image
And those moments that I find mind busting. Meaning like there's a word that I find in a weird place. I love the process of going to the writer and working that out, because that's just basic communication.

Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do.
