There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the panoply of life's rich experience. ”

You can go through life and actually speak your mind and do it in an articulate fashion and with a really intelligent point of view. ”

I never thought about the actors on television or film, like what kind of life they had. ”

I mean, there's chemistry in life and there's acting chemistry. I'm not saying they're the same thing, but they're as mysterious. ”

I was about 26 or 27 and it was imperative that I make a living right away and it's hard to make a living on stage, so I started in television and film. ”
