Well, I like to be kept on my toes. I look for a challenge. I don't like to recreate steps that I've already walked. I like to see if I can create something new.

I think I was afraid of what I might say when I got onto someone's stage or in front of someone's camera.

I do have characters who are more well known than I am, which suits me fine.

When you go to a restaurant, the less you know about what happens in the kitchen, the more you enjoy your meal.

Some musicians play blues, others classical jazz or bluegrass. I like to play political roles because I can merge my political interests with my creative interests.

I like to do theater and hopefully be effective. Most actors, at least contemporary actors of my generation, can't do it. They don't have the chops.

The reason why things work is because of love.
