I try to find humor in everything I do, because I think all great plays - even great tragedies - have enormous humor in them.
From Marian Seldes
I grew up in a house where language was appreciated and cared about. I'm sure that, although I wasn't aware of it at the time, it must have made an impression on me.
How do people who live utterly alone survive? There are so many things that won't open. I've got a few dresses in New York, and I can somehow get them on, but I can't get them off.
If I had a religious belief, I would want it to be as strong as my belief in the theater.
People say, 'How can you stay in a play for a long time?' I say, 'The audience is never the same.'
I know I'm funny, because I'm eccentric, I'm odd. I'm not what you expect.
The kind of acting I love is when you watch and you discover what you think perhaps you weren't supposed to see: the chink in the armor.
I love being with someone, taking care of someone.
I almost never go to the theatre without seeing someone I've taught or known at Juilliard.
Theatre is where I am confident and happy.
