The first 10 years I was a professional actor, I did Shakespeare.

I wanted to be in The Emerald Forest. I chased that one for six months before it all came about. I wanted to work with John Boorman!

Before I accept a job, I always talk to folks about it. Why does he kill these 22 people? If they say, What difference does it make? I know we have nothing more to talk about. A character has to be three-dimensional.

I think Im pretty politically informed, and I find myself watching Senate hearings on C-SPAN.
