Every part I get, I just think I'm so lucky. They're so hard to get, you know.

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

I've loved every minute of every hour I've spent doing theatre.

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

I almost never give interviews. It's not because I want to play hard to get. It's just that I never seem to have anything interesting to say.

Onstage I'm the one in control - I'm not at the mercy of how an editor chooses to put the scene together later. I can do things onstage that I would never do in real life. It's very freeing.

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