I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off. ↗

I've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home. ↗

The only place I've felt was really my home is my cabin up north. There's something in the water there that connects me to that place. There's also this sense of isolation and loneliness about it that I've never been able to shake. ↗

To work with a director that has emotional commitment and passion toward the characters, and the piece, and the experiences, it only enriches your work. ↗
