Theater opened up a whole new world for me. It was a freedom I'd never known before.

My profession is about as far away from growing up in southern Illinois as you can get.

I've loved every minute of every hour I've spent doing theatre.

I almost never give interviews. It's not because I want to play hard to get. It's just that I never seem to have anything interesting to say.

I've been directed by other actors, and being an actor doesn't make you a good director.

When I go to see something I'm in, or my friends are in, it's like a home movie. When I just go to the movies and don't know anyone in it, then it's a real movie.

I'm happy whenever I'm in a rehearsal room. I've always gotten all my energy and creativity in there.

I was too practical to major in theater. Acting - what was I going to do with acting? There was no future in it.

I like to play a wide range of characters. The more they're unlike me, the better I like it.

All that in this delightful garden grows should happy be and have immortal bliss.

At the Throne of Glory it is not the nobly-born that are beloved, but the nobly-risen.

Ice-T in the music has done some outrageous things.

I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.

Now that I am conscious of the world of chronic pain, when I see somebody walking down the street who's having trouble, I feel a sadness for them. I notice.

Everything that we do is insignificant...and...it is very important that we do it!
