Quotable Quotes:

"I had that nasty coronavirus but I did not die - although it felt like I might die at any time."

"[on why he loves theater] There's something about being in a house with an audience, and having that immediate feedback. I started acting because of that energy; it's what feeds me on stage and informs my choices. What's great in theater is that you can sustain the arc of a character for a full three hours, whereas in film or TV, you have to create that arc in little pieces, and usually out of sequence." (IMDB)
