So for, you know, for a good 20 years now I've been involved with veterans and soldiers and in support of them no matter what they're doing.

I started a theater called Steppenwolf. We've been very supportive of the veterans there.

While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation's defenders, we can always do a little more.

Yeah, I volunteered to support the troops, and get out there and show them that we care about them.

I save money when I'm working so that I never have to take a role simply to pay the bills.

I study to learn, to be an educated person.

You've got to keep taking certain risks, because my priority is in acting, it's not in movie stardom.
