I Don't Pick My Roles By Genre;

I Enjoyed Living In Chicago And Doing Plays For Little Or No Money. I Never Actually Thought That I Would Leave Chicago, Originally. I Wasn't One Of Those People That Had A Plan To Pack Up The Van And Drive Out To Hollywood. I Didn't Want To.

There Are Certain Ways Of Being That People Don't Find Acceptable Or Very Pleasant In Regular Life, But You Go Out On Stage And Do Pretty Much The Same Thing And They Find It Spellbinding.

When I'm Working, I Don't Wake Up And Say, 'ok, Time To Go Be Intense.' I Just Look At Whatever Scenes We're Working On That Day And Break Them Down - Just Real Intense Everyday Work.

If You Don't Believe There's Some Organising Principle, Or Somebody Up In The Sky Pulling The Strings, Then It Can Be Very Stressful. And Nature Itself Is Very Arbitrary - It's Not Malevolent Or Benevolent; It Doesn't Even Know We're Here.

I Certainly Don't Want To Have Too Many Pre-conceived Notions Before I Show Up Because Then You Might Be Cutting Yourself Off From The Real Lessons Of What Is Going On.
