I love body language.

Nonverbal communication forms a social language that is in many ways richer and more fundamental than our words.

The raising of an eyebrow, how you do it; when you look, how you look. All those little things are physical.

I think you can actually express a lot more in ways without words.

Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal.

The body says what words cannot.

There's a lot you can do without words.

I like to use my hands. When I was in theatre in college, that was one of my biggest notes: 'You use your hands too much.'

I prefer to express myself physically, or non-verbally. I prefer just to react without having a lot of dialogue.

You don't move just because you want to go from this point to that point - the body has to be using the words as well as you vocally use the words.
