It's important for me, politically, to see that theater isn't just about the powerful.

I have done a lot of theater.

I feel there's a power in theatre, but it's an indirect power. It's like the relationship of the sleeper to the unconscious. You discover things you can't afford to countenance in waking life. You can forget them, remember them a day later or not have any idea what they are about.

I made theater very important in the beginning of my career.

For me, I've always wanted to do theater, so I gravitate toward it.

I'm used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that's all I've ever known. It's what I've done for 20 years, which is crazy.

I didn't become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.

I've done a lot of things with theater that I'm very, very proud of.

Theater has been my way of learning about everything.

Most of my work had been in theater, and I was jumping not just into television but 'L.A. Law,' which had all these megastars in it.
