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

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

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

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

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'm happy whenever I'm in a rehearsal room. I've always gotten all my energy and creativity in there.
