Robert Rodriguez is a genius, and I'm a huge fan of his.

I grew up in the theatre.

Mercury poisoning sounds like a rich man's disease . . . like something you might get from the leather seats in your Lamborghini.

The stage is my love, it's where I started and where I do my best work.

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.

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.

When you try to worry about missteps and all that kind of stuff, that's not the healthiest way to be.
