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.

My goal, everyone's goal is to get better at what we do.

When you do a television show in the States, you get the pilot, and then it's the great unknown. That's the way it is. It's this great leap of faith. It's the Russian roulette of art.

I'm just a stage actor from Chicago.

As an actor you want to explore something you haven't done.

We all deal with issues of time. The first thing you do in the morning is look at the clock to see what time it is.

It's your job as an actor to fill out the blanks. I love doing that. To fill in the bones.
