The thing that I really love about film is that it is with you forever - it goes to your children, and they get to see it again and again and have it forever.

I just want to do great work: work that inspires people... To know that you are given this gift in life and that you can gift other people with it, that's the most rewarding thing for me.

Even when you are playing someone who is real, you get their mannerisms and you get their little quirks, but, it still has to be something inside of you that connects with the role, or else you will not be any good.

My Emmy is in my china closet. People don't really look at it, though.

I love acting so much that I have to have that as much as I have to have my time with my kid.

The difference between working with actors that have put their time in the theater and just straight film and television actors is that you trust theater actors a lot more. You know that they're seriously more trained than anyone else because theater is the best place to grow as an actor.
