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

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

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.

When one thing ends, you put it away and start from scratch on the next thing.

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.

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