Really, I'll go anywhere at any time to continue working in theater - it's a passion that I'm thankful I still have. It keeps me creative and on my toes and meeting great people. I can't imagine a better way of working than on a play.

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

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.

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

I work just as hard and have just as much fun whether in a 50-seat house or in a 1000-seat house. It's a luxury to be in a tiny space every once in a while and a rush to be on a giant stage every once in a while.

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