To Be Too Knowing Is A Downfall.

When You Tell People, Your World Changes, Your Identity Changes And People Treat You Differently. And Then, Not Only Do You Have To Deal With Your Own Emotional Response To What's Going On, But You Take On Everybody Else's Emotional Response.

The Entertainment Industry Is Terrified Of Silence.

But I've Also Spread My Net Very Wide. If There's One Thing That I've Done On Purpose It's To Take Whatever Job, So Long As It's Interesting And Challenging, Whether It's Theatre, Radio, Tv Or Film.

My Castings Sort Of Go In Phases. There'll Be Several Icy Professional Parts - A Lawyer Or A Cop. And Then There'll Be The Intelligent-but-wounded Group And Then The Period Things. It Goes In Sequence.

Theater Is The Foundation Of How I Live My Life, Actually. My Father Was A Playwright, So I Was Around It All The Time And Loved To Talk Shop With Him, Just Loved It. And Basically Everything That I Hold To Be Good And True And Worthy, I Learned In The Theater. So Not Even Just About The Work, But Just About Life. Discipline, Problem Solving, Creativity, How To Get Along With People.
