I grew up among farmers in Illinois and so you always have to have the tools you might need in the eventuality of a flat tire or a broken window.

The first thing I do, after I talk with the director and we agree that I'm going to do the role... My jumping off point is I get a picture of what my 'look' will be. My wardrobe style, my facial hair, glasses and all that kind of stuff.

If I had more time, I'd watch more woodworking or home-improvement shows, but, not enough hours in the day.

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

I come from a family of fishermen. Fishing is very important to us. We don't hunt. We're not gun folk.

Love one another, make something with your hands, and exalt the farmer.
