When I see what I want, I do it.

Getting work in theater has always been sort of cyclical.

I like time off because I also have a life outside of theater.

At this point the theater America is in such a precarious place.

I know people like spectacle, but I'm interested in moving people.

We all need to go to good theater; that is what I believe will save it.

I find that there are few reviews that extol women as wonderful artists.

The staff, stage managers, ushers all behaved as if they respected the actors.

It is so important to get respect for what you do and at the same time give it.

For anyone with half a brain they can see that this play is about the human condition.

You cant just trust to luck; you have to really listen to what that character is telling you.

You can't just trust to luck; you have to really listen to what that character is telling you.

People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.

There is some sadness for me now about acting because it used to be that there was a reverence for actors.

All of the generations go to what is chic for them, and theater seems to be an older generation's art form.

I talked with Brian Stokes Mitchell, who agreed with me that if you have a gift there is always stuff to do.

I think in small towns like this one, whether you're a man or a woman, you basically do what there is to do.

In theater, the wellspring of the character comes from the doing of it, like a trial by fire, but in front of an audience.

I believe in things that move people, if the audience isn't deeply caught up and moved to either laughter or tears then I don't think it is theater.

Don't forget the prices are so high in theater; it isn't really where a young person can go on a date and buy two tickets and take someone out anymore.

But today I felt different, today I forgot how long it takes to get into the skin of a character and I remembered it, because today I actually got into that skin and it felt so different.

I earned my share same as everybody. Well, I coulda got killed same as everybody. And I'm wanted by the law same as everybody. I'm a nervous wreck, and that's the truth. I have to take sass from Miss Bonnie Parker all the time. I deserve mine.
