She’s incredible. Her talent and her body of work is incredible. She’s one of the most incredibly generous people I’ve ever met in everyday life. - Marcia Gay Harden

I want my audience to relate to the moments when we’re not the hero — when we think we’re cowards. I think that’s what audiences relate about in me. I’m the toughest person on myself ever.

It was really a good way to audition, because it’s more of what I think the experience of auditioning should be, which is more exploratory, not a presentation. You’re in the room with the director, so you may as well work, and he may as well direct you. That’s what we did.

If someone doesn’t hand it to you, you start barking order like you’re a real doctor. It’s good because you get in the moment, but if you think about it, the pressure to do a good job no matter what your job is is enormous. Pressure is pressure, and it increases when it’s pressure to make sure someone doesn’t die.
