Happy birthday! Hope your 50s will be as awesome as your 40s.

I've had a year out of work, more, and just toughed it out. There are those who think that all actors are overpaid. I beg to differ.

Broadway has the most savvy audience anywhere. They see everything and they know their theater. As sophisticated and subtle as you think you can be, the houses you get here will want something finer.

I hated my childhood. It was loathsome. My parents were deaf and dumb. Profoundly so. They could make noises when they were emotionally aroused, but they couldn't form it into speech.

I know I have this kind of teaching element in me, but I don't want to become a 'teacher of theater' because that would formalize something that I'd much rather keep casual.

I've got this terrible hernia. People think it's a fat gut, but it's not.

I trained as an artist originally, so I know what a nice human body looks like, and I would like to look like that notion, and of course I never will. But I've got past that.

Actors do have good and bad sides. It's because the passage down the birth canal distorts the face. People born by caesarean section are more symmetrical.

I've always hated the way I looked, and I've never complained about my brains.

My vanity is not remotely physical, it is cerebral. I suppose feeling self-conscious might be a form of vanity, though.

It's been the most astonishing year because I've been having a marvelous adventure, and yet I kind of sympathize with people who have to live in exile, because I've so missed England.

He who thinks he knows it all knows very little." ~ Dr. MaryAnn Diorio

Our sufferings produce strength of spirit.

We think because we have words, not the other way around. The more words we have, the better able we are to think conceptually.

All fear is but the notion that God's love ends.

As long as one feels that he is the doer, he cannot escape from the wheel of births.

Belief was immune to logic; it operated by its own laws.

If you're not turned on by politics, politics will turn on you.

It's important to be honest enough about your work, and the areas in which you can improve. I'm still learning every day and I'm still Hungry to create more and better work, hence the name.

Stories are the currency of human relationships.

We should never lower our dignity by lowering our language.
