There's definitely a luxury to the fluidity of not being a mega-star. I've done a ton of really, really odd, off-the-wall movies. There's this movie I did called 'Queens of Country' a couple of summers ago that is so bananas, and if I was at a certain level, I probably would not have done that movie.

I think new plays are vastly more surprising and challenging and inspiring; I hear from audiences all the time that they are delighted when they see plays about the world we live in now, at this moment.

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

In addition to being an economic security issue, the failure to pay women a salary that's equal to men for equal work is also a women's health issue.
