I was always fascinated with rock 'n' roll, or girls, or something like that when I was a kid.

I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.

Well, I've been to Iraq twice now. I was in Baghdad in June and then north of Baghdad in November.

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've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.

I study to learn, to be an educated person.

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