“'The Fever' is a one-person play. I decided I would perform it myself, and I decided I would not perform it in theaters, because the character in the play says certain things that I meant.”

“But because we've all been readers, we know what the experience is like, and we hope that what certain writers have given to us, we will give to someone.”

“Children, I always think, are just putting on a performance of being naive and not understanding anything. I have worked with children in films, and they're treated as adults and they just drop the pretense of being children.”

“Once the writers got to know the actors, they would include certain things - personality-wise - for the characters because they knew you liked that sort of thing.”

“There are certain things that we can deal with by following the rules. But at times, we find the rules restrict you from doing the right things. On such occasions, we have to rethink - either you change the rules or break the rules.”

“We get paid to play and obviously we want to be available but when you can't do it, it's certain things you got to be smart about.”
