People who win awards for drama and for crying their eyes out for two hours... it's easy!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To be honest, I didn't even know what the Drama Desk Awards were until I was nominated.
I find awards frivolous. When I began my career, I was told that I deserved an award for a certain performance, but then I couldn't turn up on the day of the show. Then I was told that the award went to someone else. That's when I realised the truth behind it all.
It's the sad thing about entertainment, it's not always about who is the best.
As I'm always fond of telling hosts at the Oscars who are doing it for their first time, for everybody who wins, there are four people who don't. As the evening wears on, the room fills up with losers, and then they are bitter.
Someone like Vincent Price or somebody like Christopher Lee, they never won an award, and it doesn't matter. They're cool.
People win Oscars, and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's partly because a huge expectation walks in the room and sits right down on top of your head. The moment I won the Oscar, I felt the teardown the very next day.
The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.
I don't have an 'actor cry.'
People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.
Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph - when they speak, everyone listens. Because they're freaking hilarious.
