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

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

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.

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've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.

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