I have a wonderfully hedonistic appetite, and if I wasn't really strict with myself, I'd weigh 300 pounds. I'm not good with moderation.

I've had to learn and discipline myself that I'm much happier and much less depressed if I give myself a project. It's just that simple.

Technically, we're all half centaur.

I first read Wendell Berry's short-story collections, "Fidelity" and then "Watch with Me." They just knocked my socks off. The characters and the fellowship of the small town reminded me of my own small town in Illinois.Then I discovered that, much like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, that all of Berry's fiction was centered in this same town.

Shut your damn mouth.

I always drastically changed my look for each role. It's gotten a little tedious in real life, also, because there's no hiding.

I am a saxophone player.
