I am always looking for a great play and a great part to do.

I'm aware of my old plays and occasionally think about them, but I'm much more anxious about finding the next play.

I just try to make the plays when they throw them to me.

I rather go to see a good play than be in one.

Yeah, I think that a play is a huge commitment, and I think that what it requires of you is a lot, so it really makes you dig in and find things, and it just makes you sharp, 'cause it's live. Really, to me, it separates the men from the boys. I always say it's like the frontlines of acting, when you're on stage.

A good play puts the audience through a certain ordeal.

After you do a play like 'The Normal Heart,' it's hard to find something you feel so passionate about.

It's hard to write a good play because it's hard to structure a plot. If you can think of it off the top of your head, so can the audience.

Plays, especially great plays, yield their secrets over a long period of time. You can't read it three times and say, 'OK, I got it. I know what's happening.'
