Politics with me isn't theater. It's performance art. Sometimes, for its own sake.

I don't love the theatre. I'm just not one of them.

Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.

The wonderful thing about theater as an art form is it's a purely empirical art form. It's all about what works. And every show, every production, is created anew right from the moment you go into the rehearsal hall.

What I like about theater is its team work. Theater is also all-time creativity.

I don't want the kind of theater that I love and grew up seeing to die out.

I see myself as not a typical theater person, but a person who uses the theater as a place to meet people and explore ideas.

Doing theater anywhere, especially in L.A., is a constant uphill battle, and there's also the unsexy parts of the business that you're faced with, like getting money. It's a really great thing to do. You feel like you're really an artist when you're doing that and you're in a company of artists.

I was never much of a musical theater guy, but I have so much more respect for the art form, the physical exertion of doing eight shows on Broadway a week, I cannot even fathom it.

I'm very resistant to most forms of theater.
