They did something once that slurred my speech, and I thought, "Oh, man, you're messing with my brain. It's freaking me out."

The oldest form of theater is the dinner table. It's got five or six people, new show every night, same players. Good ensemble; the people have worked together a lot.

I have a remarkably normal life.

The way life runs through everything, even the tiniest elements of nature - that makes me humble. It's the same humility that causes people at a certain time every day to get on their knees and put their foreheads on the ground in honor of something or someone.

In terms of what happened over that hiatus that I took, I just rested. I spent that time with my family, during their really formative years, and enjoyed that, and I messed with pills and new medications that help me to deal with dyskinesia and some other things I was struggling with, that I don't have as much now because of medication to counter the side effects. So, it just seemed like the right time to do it.

My tattoo is that I don't have a tattoo.

I don't look at life as a battle or as a fight. I don't think I'm scrappy. I'm accepting.
