What I Find So Interesting About People

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.

My Family Is From The South, And I Can Remember All Those Ladies I Grew Up With, Like My Great-aunts, Who Had Handkerchiefs. There's Something Sweet About Them.

I Crave A Cone Of Silence Every Once In While.

There's Something Grueling But Very Appealing About Rough, To-the-bone Material In A Low Budget Context. There's Less Between You And The Material. There Are Less People. There Is Less Time. There's Often Less Technology. You Have To Concentrate Very Intensely, And You Jump In A Little Deeper Because There's Nothing In Your Way... But There Are Challenges.

I Never Felt Like A Happy-go-lucky Ingenue To Begin With. And Parts Are Written Better When You're Older. When You're Young, You're Written To Be An Ingenue, And You're Written To Be A Quality. You're Actually Not Written To Be A Person, You're Written For Your Youth To Inspire Someone Else, Usually A Man. So I Find It Just Much More Liberating.
