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

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

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

The Dalai Lama was once asked for his favorite chant, and he said it was better not to have a favorite anything, which I think is a great thought.

I feel, as a person, very uninteresting.

It sounds clichéd, but I think the greatest lesson is to not take things personally.

I'm just a stage actor from Chicago.
