I'm used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that's all I've ever known. It's what I've done for 20 years, which is crazy.

As a working actor, all I want to do is work. That's it. It's terrifying when you don't work. It's very hard when you don't work. There have been times when I've been out of work for like six months. I feel theatre to me is like manna.

I was in the movies. I danced, I sang, I learned to work in front of a camera. It was like being in a repertory company.

When I first came to Hollywood, I could not break into movies.

I sort of grew up doing theater. And that's how I got into film, actually.

I got into acting to get my foot in the door for film-making.

Once I came to acting, it was almost a thing where there weren't enough hours in the day to work on stuff because I was so passionate about it.

I had started doing theater in high school, and while I was doing that, I got my manager.

I had a background in theater as an actor, and then a photographer, and then as an experimental filmmaker and editor.
