I've worked with leading men so worried about losing their charm that they were always winking to the audience.

I've never been a big fan of making telepathy to the audience. That would be too much a wink in the eye. That would make people around me fools, right?

I am not a fan of referencing your own work when it's in a different universe than what you're doing. That, to me, is a wink at the audience, and winking isn't actually cool when you're not, like, 10.

I've never been onstage in my life.

I never pretended to be a great actor.

What good is a character who's always winking at the audience to let them in on the secret?

Onstage, I was never the ingenue.

I've never not appeared in front of a live audience for any longer period than a month or two.

I used to be afraid of looking at the audience.

There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.
