| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | I believe that no one can teach you how to act, but schools do give you an environment to make mistakes, to learn techniques and to learn professionalism. |
| 2 | School is very important; it was very important for me. It gave me an enormous amount of confidence, especially at Yale where we were dealing with all the classics. In dealing with the classics, you are dealing with the very best. |
| 3 | I really appreciate an actor who has paid their dues and who has learned hard knocks and has been rewarded in the end. |
| 4 | If actors could actually make a living doing theater, that would be my first choice. Sitcoms are the closest thing to being onstage in front of an audience. |
