Quote

I'll play a happy character, but most characters are driven by a pain or a fear. They are driven by something deep down, and most people are like that in the sense. And so, that's what interests me.

I dance. A lot. I work grief and sadness out of my body when I dance, and I bring in joy and rhythm.

You've got to be happy when you play a sad character; otherwise, you just get depressed. Make your real life as fun as possible.

I try to find humor in everything I do, because I think all great plays - even great tragedies - have enormous humor in them.

I like to play different ranges. When you get really deeply involved in the emotional parts, I enjoy that just as much as the fun and laughter.

I love playing really strung out characters, and characters that are really pushed to their limits and losing their mind. I think that's wonderful. To be able to lose it, in many ways, is just great fun to do.

I enjoy the character interplay. Sometimes the audience is not laughing, but smiling, and that is almost just as good because it keeps them ready to laugh.

I'm just into having fun, because I went through some bad years that really depressed me and made me angry.

I find sadness and strife to be so much more interesting with an upbeat melody.
