You can't make people who you want them to be. That was a hard lesson for me.

I wrote a script and I've been whispering in director's ears for a really long time and I'd love to direct.

One of the great things that you should never do that I learned from John Malkovich is to never judge your characters.

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

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

I grew up watching PBS and wanting to be a part of it, just like HBO.

I had never really been around cards.
