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

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

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.

When I go to see something I'm in, or my friends are in, it's like a home movie. When I just go to the movies and don't know anyone in it, then it's a real movie.

I was an office secretary for a long time. A good secretary.

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.

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