Quotes

Jeffrey: (on his background in the theatre) I went to a lot of theatre schools, got a lot of training, did a lot of repertory where you do a different play every night. I took a lot of voice, movement, and acting classes. I did a lot of rep after I got out of school: in San Diego, the Mark Taper Forum, South Coast Repertory--just the whole theater circuit. (edit)
Jeffrey: Villains are more interesting, as Herbert West proves. Here's a guy we admire because, despite what we find disgusting about him, at least he doesn't give in. (edit)
Jeffrey: (on becoming an actor) I gravitated to acting out of a mixture of instinct, naiveté and opportunity. (edit)
Jeffrey: I always try to make my characters people, and yet I always want to entertain. (edit)
Jeffrey: I think there's something in the human psyche that we're titillated by the person who flies too close to the candle and their wings get singed. (edit)
