I've been blessed by doing classic plays on Broadway, which was one of my great dreams forever.

There are roles that are terrifying because they're large or you may feel that they're out of your line, but I'm never terrified once the actual work begins. Once you begin rehearsal, then it's small building blocks. It's solving little problems one at a time.

I think of myself as a problem-solver. I want to go in and help the director and the writer to get the best they can out of the text they're working with.
