- "...people seem to think I just love playing unlikable people. I don't like playing unlikable people at all. It doesn't thrill me. I don't get a lot of joy out of it. But I don't even think of them as unlikable. I just do what's necessary for the scene, for the character, for the role, for the play. To me these characters are all people who I completely believe in. I have to see them positively. They're people who have goals and want to accomplish things, and they do what they have to do to get 'em." - Dana Ivey, American Theater, 1997.
