"An actor doesn't change thought, theme, or mood unless the character does, and the character only does it within the words of the play." "I've always played disintegrated characters." "Once you're on [stage], nobody can say 'cut it.' You're out there on your own, and there's always that thrill of a real live audience." "All I know is, I don't do a lot of analysis. I know those words have to move me. I rely on the author. I don't want actors reasoning with me about 'motivation' and all that bull. All I want 'em to do is learn the goddamn lines and don't bump into each other." "The theatre has kept me alive, and it's allowed me to work at my craft."
