I never like seeing myself on screen.
I don't know what goes on in their heads out in Hollywood.
A video taped stage performance is just - you know, it's never gonna be the same as it is if you're sitting there live in the theatre.
As a kid, I loved Godot because of the poetry and the humor and the strangeness, but then as you get older, its much more resonant.
Take a shot of vodka and hope for the best.
If you've seen Mary Poppins and The Grinch, come to the Booth Theater and let me shove a little coal down your stocking.
One of the nicest compliments I would get very often on the street is people would say, 'I love you on 'The Good Wife.' I just can't tell whether I should like you or hate you!'
I have to accept the fact that, no matter what I do, it's going to annoy someone.
I have my aluminum siding business, and that's going like a house afire.
Hollywood... Real diamonds, fake breasts.
Look, I'm over 40, I'm single, and I work in musical theater - you do the math!
Sure I think it is healthy to speak the truth, and be who you are, and be proud of that.
