I'd rather be useful than rich. It's more essential to feel you're doing something that's worth doing, rather than making a lot of money.

I hope to have more time to think, to look at the sky, dealing with less crisis management, to learn another language, to travel.

Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a completely different job for a while. You've got one life and you do the same job for the whole of it, and you think - was that a good use of a life?

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

It is intensely frustrating. The longer you live, the more interesting life gets, and yet many of the parts involve carrying trays and putting lamb chops down in front of the leading man.

I often wrangle with myself as an actor, and wrestle with the process. In striving for authenticity I often have the feeling I am falling short.

I often don't feel like the person I look like.

I wanted to be the conduit for somebody else's experiences, filtered through me, and passed on to other people. Which is the job description, really.

In our own, theatre can be the place where we come together, reaching with and through stories, to who we are and to who we can be.

I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'

I'm hardly Hollywood material - they're interested in youth and perfection and I lay no claims to either. It's not a place that's particularly interested in talent.

I'm never sick when you are well.

My grandpa always said asking a question is embarrassing for a moment, but not asking is embarrassing for a lifetime.

My vocals are bad, I can't sing, hey man, I wouldn't ask you to do a drum roll if your arm was falling off.

Nelson Mandela stands as an inspiration to us all

My hair is such a statement that it's like a neon sign asking for trouble.

You can tell an honest artist from one who's just given all their songs.

If this is death, it is easier than life.

Priests are very interested in theater in New York! It's this lovely reminder that priests are just people, too, who need to be entertained.

You can't worry about things you have no control over.

With me, it's clothing and makeup and hair and all that stuff that inform how the character moves and feels.
