I Am The Character You

Older People Say, 'oh I Loved You In 'sense And Sensibility,'' And That's The Only Film They Want To Talk About. Equally, There Are People Who Only Want To Talk About 'galaxy Quest.' And There's A Whole Bunch Of Teenagers Who Only Want To Talk About 'dogma.'

I Never Expected To Have Any Kind Of Film Career, To Be Honest. It Was All A Bit Of A Surprise. But I Was In A Big Hit Play On Broadway. America, As Many People Will Say, Says Yes More Often Than We Do. And So I Was Suddenly Surrounded By People Saying Yes. But I Was Aware That Was 'cause Of What I Was In. It Had A Big Impact.

I'm A Lot Less Serious Than People Think, It's Probably Because The Way My Face Is Put Together.

I Think There Should Be Laughs In Everything. Sometimes, It's A Slammed Door, A Pie In The Face Or Just A Recognition Of Our Frailties.

I Have A Photograph At Home Of Fred Astaire From The Knees Down With His Feet Crossed. It's Kind Of Inspiring Because It Reminds Me His Feet Were Bleeding At The End Of Rehearsals. Yet When You Watch Him, All You See Is Freedom. It's A Reminder Of What The Job Is About In General, Not Just Being In Musicals.
