You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: "Did he have passion?"

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

I'm just a stage actor from Chicago.

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

When I was growing up, I was always on stage but I loved other things.

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

I never made more than $50 doing any play in Chicago. That was the way I grew up.
