I'm sure my father had more to do with my career than I would like to give him credit for. I would love to think it was all me!
From Laura Linney
I have an instinct to want to be part of a group of people. I feel safe there. That's why I was in school for so long.
What I hope in my ideal world is that with each project, I'll either get to work with a really great script that would force me to grow, or work with a really great actor who will make me better.
I had learning disabilities, and I couldn't express myself in the written word.
Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.
I find the whole disdain for ageing crazy.
I don't want to spend my life in my 40s feeling bad about being in my 40s, and then all of a sudden I'm 50, and I will have missed a whole decade!
I enjoy learning about different periods and people, and then taking what's universal about the human condition and seeing where it matches up. No matter where you are, certain things unite everybody.
What I love about a play is that it's such an investment because only time can create a lot of what happens onstage.
I believe that no matter what you do in life, if you learn the basics through theater, it will help you in everything else - problem solving, communication, discipline, all of that stuff.
