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

The most fun I've had on 'Burn Notice,' I think it would have to be working with China Chow and Lucy Lawless.

My role as a producer is very specific. It's maintaining the creative truthfulness, day in and day out.

If you think about TV series, we make 16 one-hour movies a season. You don't get any opportunity like that in movies. I mean, I can't say I'll be able to do 16 movies in the next year, and so that's how I see it.

Believe it or not, I don't own a TV. Crazy huh? I'm not a big movie-goer either. I just feel like I'm watching work. I am always outside and couldn't care less about what's on TV these days.

My mom raised us three boys by herself on welfare. It's not worse than anybody else's life.

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.
