I think I can be an intimidating energy in the room. I think I come in with an aura of wanting results because as the playwright, I know how it goes, and there's the thought, 'Why can't they catch up?'

I have a bad reputation for being temperamental.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

What's monotonous about being an actor and often makes me want to throw in the towel or drive a car off a bridge is the auditioning - the waiting around.

What's exciting about theatre is observing human behaviour. You're constantly making judgments about body language, the physical, the emotional, the intellectual.

I seem to be constantly confronted by theater professionals who are more or less annoyed by the prospect of structure.

To be in theater you have to be a kind of psychologist, for you're always trying to understand character and motives.

I'm certainly not your typical front-man material. Some people love being on stage and really open up, and I'm sort of the opposite of that. I don't crave the spotlight. I'm still not comfortable even talking on stage.

I have enough drama in my career, and then always playing dramatic roles and storylines... I like to lead a very low profile.
