Shakespeare Is Like Mother's Milk To Me.

Up There With My Awards, I Have A Great Big Statue Of Groucho Marx, Just To Put Everything In Perspective.

I Grew Up In A Theater Family. My Father Was A Regional Theater Classical Repertory Producer. He Created Shakespeare Festivals. He Produced All Of Shakespeare's Plays, Mostly In Shakespeare Festivals In Ohio. One Of Them, The Great Lakes Theater Festival In Cleveland, Is Still Going. So I Grew Up Not Wanting To Be An Actor, Not Wanting To Go Into The Family Business.

My Father Was A Man Of The Theater. I Grew Up In A Theater Family. As A Young Man, As A Boy, I Gypsied Around With My Siblings And My Parents To, Like, Eight Different Towns, Went To Eight Different Schools. All Those Things Were Extremely Formative, And I Think That's What Happens.

That's How You Deal With Stardom; You Make It The Least Important Part Of Your Life.

I Really Prize And Love Great Painting. It's So Out Of Date Now. It's Slightly Come Back In.
