“Whenever you have a role where you don't get to know anything about the character, you have to invent it yourself. You have to feel like it came from somewhere.”

“We opened a theater in 2006 called Loft Ensemble in Sherman Oaks. And we write our own plays and do goofy characters and pack a whopping 20 people per night to watch our work.”

“I wouldn't say I'm a shy person, but I like my privacy.”

“It's not terrifying to watch 'Mindhunter,' necessarily, but it's just unsettling. You can find Aileen Wuornos just talking to a camera. It's hard to watch. Her eyeballs, they are just terrifying.”

“When you can surprise yourself, you're truly acting.”

“Mary doesn't want to be treated as Mary J. Blige: she just wants to be Mary.”

“I wish all guns had blanks, and that's all we shot out of guns, because then I'd recommend that everyone has as many guns as they can. Just wandering around with that big loud sound exploding, and the force of it, is a blast.”

“F. Murray Abraham is an incredible actor and has been for a long time. I've been watching him as I grew up.”

“I've seen a lot of teachers come and go, and you do three or four years, and it's exhausting.”

“I love to be in projects that take risks.”

“Characters can stay with you.”

“When you have a job you know you'd do for free, it takes a lot of the pressure away to be successful at it. So if it's doing theater in New York or teaching acting, I'm down for all of it.”

“I've never understood why someone does a cover of a song just exactly the same. If you do something, do it a little different so people have a new experience.”

“I just love Claire Foy.”

“I think the Mary J. Blige persona wouldn't lend itself to the big kid persona, but that's exactly who she is. She has such a serious life and childhood and then such a dramatic one, a successful R&B singer. But she's just stayed this kid for life and stuff.”

“If you feel too comfortable while you're performing, you're probably not doing it right.”

“If you go back to Season 1 of 'The Office,' Steve Carell's character is a lot different.”

“Some folks are a little scared when they meet me.”

“When I was 11, I said I wanted to be an actor.”
