Actors are investigators.

The drama nerd comes out in me when I’m in a theater.

You have to understand that crew members make movies so they’re seeing a lot of actors all the time in their career acting.

I don’t get nervous when I’m directing a play. It’s not like acting.

I didn’t go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That’s what interests me.

I’ve never been on a cruise.

I have an awful memory, and I have a great memory. Meaning that, if I’m trying to remember something, I can’t remember it. But my recall is fantastic.

When you’re playing someone who really lived, you carry a burden, a burden to be accurate. But it’s one that you have to let go of ultimately.

I think you ultimately have to love who you’re playing. You have to have that kind of feeling. You have to have passion for the person.

I have three children and I think I’m happy when I’m with them and they’re okay. When I see them enjoying each other in front of me, and then they let me enjoy them in turn. That brings a feeling which I would say is happiness.
