“I wanted to do plays. But then I got out of school and started getting jobs in movies and TV. And I seemed more suited to that. I like the intimacy of working for the camera, the size of performance it requires. I love getting into tiny moments.”

“I needed to do a play. I needed to learn how to act again, in a focused, all-encompassing way, and a really challenging play is a great way to do that.”

“I was 16. In the middle of the night, I took a taxi to the Detroit train station - or maybe it was the Pontiac train station? - and got on a train to Chicago, then transferred to a train to San Diego where my boyfriend was living at the time.”

“For me, it's the ultimate to be able to nurture and nourish someone. They trust you. It's a basic form of intimacy in a community.”

“I think when you're looking for a lifetime partnership, intimacy is obviously a part of that.”

“I do not want to act unless I have a a great intimacy with the people I'm working with.”
