I've turned down a lot of roles to make time to record and tour.
I find there is something very intimate about being the voice in someone's ear when they're driving.
I still find it quite easy to find my way into a child's imagination. We're all Peter Pan ourselves in some respects. Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grownup.
In most careers, you find something you do well, and you tie an increasingly larger bow on the package.
Any part that makes you world famous has got to be a blessing, hasn't it?
I remember candy rationing until I was, like, 7.
I think that if you get too close to the character, if you do too much historical research, you may find yourself defending your view of a character against the author's view, and I think that's terribly dangerous.
My interests and obsessions have always been so wide-ranging that I keep popping my head out of different boxes as much as possible.
I moved to L.A., because that's where they point cameras at you. And that's what I'd like them to do.
It's the best job in the whole world. There's no job better.
I've worked in a few sort of 'institutional' theaters - the Royal Shakespeare, the National Theater in England - and they're hopelessly top-heavy with bureaucracy.
It's so comforting to know that there are so many people in this world sicker than I am.
There's nothing more daunting than a musical, but there's also no more direct line to joy. Getting there, though, is like pushing treacle up stairs.
You see, there are always purists in every, in every art form and particularly I think in, in performance arts of any kind.
