I'm hideously shy as myself but on stage I can run around naked and bite the heads off fish.

Theater opened up a whole new world for me. It was a freedom I'd never known before.

My profession is about as far away from growing up in southern Illinois as you can get.

I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.

I was too practical to major in theater. Acting - what was I going to do with acting? There was no future in it.

I like to play a wide range of characters. The more they're unlike me, the better I like it.

I don't like working in front of a camera.
