I think it had something to do with my love of music, especially rock music.

I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.

When you make a movie, it's up to so many things and so many people.

I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February.

What it targets is not something that's really looked at a lot in terms of the war. This is stuff that's off the beaten path in terms of what we think of every time you start a Civil War history or a Civil War presentation. It's usually about the military and the soldiers and all that stuff. And this is not. It's the backdrop to a place and a time and circumstances that didn't have anything to do with that.

I just don't eat too much. That's never been my problem.
