There's not much out there that people are fighting for that leaves them with nothing but honor.

I've always wanted to do theater in Chicago. Chicago is a big theater town-and, in some ways, I think this city is savvier and smarter than New York. Sometimes, I think it's a little too chic to go to theater in New York these days.

I'm very shy in real life; I can't really hit on girls.

I could never say I'm going to do bigger and better things because that would negate what I've already accomplished, and I don't want to do that.

There was no theater program or anything where I'm from. So junior year in high school I started the theater program.

Encouragement from my high school teacher Patty Hart said 'you need to focus and theater might be your route out of here.' I created the program, went to college and graduate school and now here I am.

I am always outside and couldn't care less about what's on TV these days.
