Being a man of the theater and a hedonist, I find the idea of building coffins very romantic.

My uncles, who are farmers in Minooka, Illinois - I grew up with them and their pickup trucks and mustaches, and to me that was masculinity: big hairy sweaty guys who could pick up a bus.

No matter how you decide to spend a little more time on your gestures of giving, the point is just quite simply that you do.

No one will ever ask me to sing because it's beautiful. My secret is hiding my musicianship behind humor.

I don't put a great deal of stock in art trophies.

I spent a lot of my youth working outside in the elements, and I kind of revel in defeating tough weather.

When I was in high school, I would perform every year in those plays and there was something I really loved about it. But I was completely unaware that you could sort of get into an acting career.
