[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.
