The great fun of doing new plays is that people have no idea what's going to happen next. That goes quite soon, as people start talking about it, and the only way you can keep hold of that is genuinely to keep changing it.

You have to take a huge loss financially to do a play. You have to put aside the commercials and the speeches and the other things that put money on the table, and really save up to do it. And that's what I've done here. But it's worth it to me to be in a really good play.

Plays are so much more special if they've never ever had a production, but I think you can really work on a play and make it better with each production.

To me, getting notes, honing the part, and refining the role is the real fun of the play.

If you're going to act and do this for a living, you want to play something that the audience didn't expect.

Most Americans pay lip service to the idea of freedom, but can't handle real freedom.

I don't know why every actor doesn't do more plays.

If you can play live and support yourself, it's one of the few ways you're going to actually get paid in this business these days.

If you really want to get it more exciting, no linesmen. And have the players call their lines. That would make the game more exciting, I promise you. It would be awesome.
