I don't believe we need to take millions and millions of dollars and build churches and stuff... I think we could build houses instead.
Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.
The next time you feel you have to say, "I love you" to someone, say it to yourself - and see if you believe it.
I actually pray everyday, but I don't believe in God.
I don't believe in the afterlife, so I do think when somebody passes, it's worthy of note.

Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas. Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.
You really, really, really have to love what you are going to do in theatre because it is an unmerciful life. It's six days a week. It's eight performances a week. And that's doing the exact same thing over and over and over again.
Deco, ... I have one at home, I used it for a toilet paper holder.
