I was born in Paris, and my mother was a French teacher, but then I rebelled against my upbringing and studied Spanish in school. So now I just speak bad French and bad Spanish.

Broadway is the actor's Mt. Everest - but with more flattering frocks.

Anne Boleyn was a warrior forced to use the only tools available to a woman in her position at that time. She was bold and ambitious, and had she had a son, history would have been very different.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
