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

I think people are gravitating towards these period dramas because I think they're looking for a simpler time.

I'm not a video game guy. I would rather throw around a football.

Yet the reality is that I'm a stage actor from the Midwest - probably the opposite of a shark agent.

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.

I don't know if there's a lot of patience anymore. I think that could serve a lot of people.

I grew up on the stage, where you just throw yourself into projects and don't get in your own way.
