• I have always measured my success in terms of how far I fell short of or accomplished what I imagined the character to be. This has been and is a constant.

• Doing too much is one of my great failures – one with which I always wrestle.

• I really hesitate to offer anyone advice, each individual’s experience is so specific to them.

• What I can say for myself is that I have never taken anything for granted. The privilege of working [and] of doing this work in particular [is] the joy of the exchange that happens between the members of the whole company if you’re open to it [and] my responsibility as a member of a creative team [and] my responsibility to the audience.

• I have been immensely privileged to have the opportunity to creatively stand in another human’s psyche. It’s wonderful to commit to the journey of an actor, to live inside someone else’s head and heart space, to get as close as you can to how they are physically operating in this world. I have an extraordinary level of gratitude, to have been fortunate enough to have had an astonishing range of work, especially since I’m not one of those actors who can necessarily choose what role to play.

• I personally suffer if I spend too long in the city because I live remotely.
