  • On Michael Langham: I consider Michael a great director, a great man of the theater. He lived it, breathed it, and was totally occupied with it.
  • You get to do really interesting, out of the ordinary things making movies. I like that aspect of it. I also like the kind of acting you have to do for the movies. I like not having to project for a large theatre audience.
