I've been on the stage my entire life as an actor.

If someone mistakes your kindness for weakness, that's their fault - not yours. And it's OK to be a decent human being in this life.

Unless an entire row of people got up in the middle of a performance and left the theater in disgust, I felt as though I hadn't done my job.

We all have so many different elements inside of us and we're not all one thing.

I have a place in Chicago and I get there as much as I can... The city is so unbelievably beautiful. It's one of the greatest cities on the planet. My heart beats differently when I'm in Chicago. It slows down and I feel more at ease.

There are so many great directors that I haven't worked with and that I would love to work with.

One of the great things going on right now is social media and you get a real sense, immediately, about what people are feeling and thinking.
