I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it. Actually, when I did theater, I used to have a partner, and that was the way we used to write a lot of our sketches, through improvisation. So it's something I feel comfortable with.

I never want to feel like the way that I see it isthe only way. Sometimes mistakes happen and that's better than whatyou thought the scene could be. You allow room for the possibilities.

I don't blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That's all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor.

Do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created here on earth?

I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires.

I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.

I feel my life has more meaning because I am responsible for another life, although I don't have control over what Lucian - my son - is going to do. He's definitely going to carve his own way.
