I have the philosophy of yes. If anybody asks me to do a job, I say, 'Yes.' I've said yes to everything.

I've never planned my career, really. It just comes along, and I do whatever comes next!

Theatre is the principal job of an actor. An actor's job is to tell a story to someone in a room. TV and film can be great and I really love doing it, but it is a different way of telling a story.

If anybody asks me to do a job, I say, 'Yes.' I've said yes to everything.

I'm irresponsible to my career in order to paint. Because painting is obsessive. I forget to eat. I forget to sleep.

My career is based primarily upon finding a balance with a director and their vision, and that means sublimating my own personal ego toward their material.

I cling to the idea that Herman Melville had to work at the end of his career watching ships in a dock, as a shipping agent in New York. Any writer who thinks they should be given patronage because of their gift... you don't have to look too far in history to see that's just not the case.

A soul-based workplace asks things of me that I didn't even know I had. It's constantly telling me that I belong to something large in the world.
