I study to learn, to be an educated person.

Careers, like rockets, don't always take off on schedule. The key is to keep working the engines.

I've directed enough in the theatre and a couple of films to know that - to feel fairly secure that if I find a story that I really like I can probably get it done somewhat.

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.

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

But I've got more to learn, too. I don't feel like I'm done or I know it all.
