There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. And to Poe... well, a great logician could be an enemy to him, what he called conventional world reason.

One of the great things about being recognized is that you receive this feedback from people. It is easy to see how sincere people are. It’s nothing fake or jive. They’re giving sincere appreciation. And it’s not that easy to express.

I think Poe had a mission to tell us what it’s all about. To answer some of the great questions of life.

There is something good about the character of Gomez. I wouldn’t trade the association with him for anything or any role that I might have missed.

I guess one of the reasons I’m doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter how difficult things are, if you continue to move forward in life, you can eventually become victorious, even if it’s later in life.

Sometimes when I see a performance that really takes me, I struggle. How can I express this to this person, I want this person to know how I felt. I want to get this across, and it’s not very easy.

The world is, for the most part, a collective madhouse, and practically everyone, however “normal” his facade, is faking sanity.

My work is to reach people with ideas, hopes, dreams, encouragement, insight, and revelation. That’s what an actor wants to do.

Where is the boundary between your thoughts and feelings and my thoughts and feelings? Where does it end – the outer layer of epidermis? If you look at the body as energy – not matter – maybe there’s a possibility we as human beings are more connected to one another than we realize.

I love to play for audiences that are simply made of people rather than so-called special people.
