[on the appeal of developing a character onstage] I think I have to do it. I think it's a calling. I don't mean to sound pretentious about that, but I'm not happy unless I'm doing it or pursuing it in some way. It's like my life doesn't make any sense. So I think it's mostly that, and then it's just fun. And I love telling stories. I think stories connect us as human beings, and through story we are allowed to talk about things and present difficult subjects. Show less «

[on the 'Felix Unger' character] He's not a macho guy, but there are lots of guys who aren't macho who aren't gay. He loves women, he's just a control freak. I think it's interesting to have a male character who's really sensitive. In that day and age they weren't, and still in some ways we're not allowed to be. Show less «

[on the enduring appeal of 'The Odd Couple'] It's something we don't get to see a lot in theatre. We see lots of plays where women have friendships, but I don't know a lot of plays where the central drive of it is the friendship between two men. I think it's a really clever concept, simple but very clever. If we do it right there's a lot of opportunity for it to be very touching. Show less «
