I felt my personal life was not what it should be. It had nothing to do with Mr. Show - I'm monstrously appreciative and understand what it did for me and to me - but after four years, I just felt like I needed to do something else. I guess I wanted to be in a different place, physically.

I think that acting is no fun unless it's hard. I'm not titillated by acting or being an actor unless I have to work hard.
