Rene Auberjonois

I came out of repertory theater, where I worked 50 weeks a year, and I loved working with the people.

The mask of the character was already written into the show, but I actually lobbied for a denser and more complete mask than they initially considered.

I would hardly call myself an artist in that sense; I doodle, I draw, I'm not a trained artist, I couldn't sit down and do an accurate portrait of anyone.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Good authors mature over time: it does take awhile.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
