“When I sign on for a project, I'm there to give the director all the material he or she might need to tell their story, and that's the number one priority.”

“The general view is that actors start on soaps and then maybe graduate to prime-time television or film; normally you don't see a film actor going to do a soap.”

“I acted professionally for about eight years, and I was writing all that time but never showed anybody any of it.

“There comes a time in everybody's life when it's no longer enough to point and say he or she should do it, but you have to answer yourself... That's why I put myself at the party's service.”

“If the novelist shares his or her problems with the characters, he or she is able to study his personal unconscious.”

“I am very clear that when I work with a director what he or she says is the last word.”
