Sometimes in life, we have to continue to learn the same lesson until it sticks.

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

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

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

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

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

I'm not a boy now. I'm a man, I hope. I hope I've had my artistic bar mitzvah somewhere.
