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

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

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

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 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.

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

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.
