It was a weird moment in my life and a weird experience [doing a theater]. It made me think, Gee, I don't know if I ever want to do this again. And I love theater. I love going. I love the experience of theater. But I am not sure it's for me.

I had a prodigious life, living in a grown-up world when I was a child. But I think my abilities were about perceptiveness, and they were about examining psychology and examining people and relationships.

Cruelty might be very human and very cultural, but it is not acceptable and it is not an option.

Where I have problems is when I am in the midst of doing something that I am completely focused on, and then I am asked to buy shoes or something.

I cannot believe in God when there is no scientific evidence for the existence of a supreme being and creator.

I don't have a burning desire to act strangely enough. I don't know that if I hadn't been an actor as a young person, I don't know that I ever would have chosen this because it's not really my personality.

I think I missed all of the wonderful things ... I missed the control that you have in film, and I missed getting it right, really getting it right, the way you hope people will see it. All of the things that people love about theater - the fact that it changes every night and that it's so spontaneous - all of those things just frighten me.
