I talk by playing, not by words.

When you do a play, you do it for a couple months, and it just gets in your bones. You can learn about somebody that way.

Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.

That's why people read books. You get to have the real conversation, as opposed to the pseudo-conversations we have in everyday life.

For my part, I confess I seldom listen to the players: one has so much to do, in looking about and finding out one's acquaintance, that, really, one has no time to mind the stage. One merely comes to meet one's friends, and show that one's alive.

You talk all the time about being connected, being a unit, believing in each other. But if you have unnamed sources, people out there cutting you down, and then you find out it's the person calling the plays - that would be really hard to deal with, to look at him the same way.

People want chat histories. They're a permanent testimony of a relationship.

I enjoy playing someone who doesn't show up and say, 'This is what I am, and this is what I'm about,' but is someone who, four hours in, makes you go, 'Really? Is that what's going on?'

I talk to players all the time.
