Personal Quotes

"I caught the acting bug early. My mother was rehearsing 'The Dutchman' in Provincetown at a theater called Act Four when she started, and nursing me, as well. My father was very supportive because he's an artist...I was born in New York City., but lived in Provincetown from age 4 to age 12. It was terrific growing up by the sea. I wanted to be a marine biologist for many years, so if acting doesn't pan out, I can always go back to school." Interview, 1990.

I'm known as 'the wild card' in my family, because nobody ever knows what I'm gonna say or what I'm gonna do. - Speech, April 9, 2008
