thinking people together
I always think extremism is basically a reaction out of fear. What we seem to be experiencing is polar extremism that keeps people from coming together.
spoons like-you feels
Don't you always feel bad when they take away one of the spoons? It's like you ordered wrong.
mean week shows
You only have a week to do a show. I mean, there's only so deep you can dig in that week.
support ensemble ive-learned
I don't have the time to tell you all the things I've learned from this cast. It's an extraordinary ensemble because we all support each other so well.
dad grandfather actors
My dad had been an actor... not only had my dad been an actor, but his dad had been an actor, and my great-grandfather had been an actor. And who knows before then?
thinking different roles
I think being an actor in general is acknowledging that we are constantly playing different roles, that we have all these different parts of ourselves and instead of pretending that you are just one thing, as an actor you get to admit that you've got all this stuff going on.
girl school valleys
I was chased through a chateau in the Loire Valley by a bunch of American school girls.
laughing found
I found every single laugh as Laertes that you can find and only realized later that you really shouldn't find any at all.
growing-up sibling college
I don't remember any sibling rivalry growing up, because by the time I was really conscious, Tom was going away to college. My relationship with him, which is a very close one, really developed in more recent years.
life-is paradox one-thing
So much of life is paradox. So much of life is neither one thing nor the other... it's both things at the same time.
fun party play
We all went to Kelsey's wedding, and yeah, we go to parties. We also go to each other's house. A group of us got together over at Kelsey's and just read through some plays just for the fun of it. That may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but we had a good time.
good-day legs skiing
We can't control what the ratings will be. It's like, if you're going to go skiing, do you hope you'll have a good day of skiing? Yes. Do you hope you won't break your leg? Yes.
dimes kelsey separation
From Kelsey, I have learned among many other things the value of turning on a dime and how you can have an extremely funny and extremely poignant moment with absolutely no separation in between... and sometimes in the same moment.
funny dog years
The first year I was on the show, it took an interviewer about 45 minutes to get it out of me that I even had a dog, and even then I wouldn't tell him the dog's name.
