I don't like working in front of a camera.

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.

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

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.

I was an office secretary for a long time. A good secretary.

DON'T ASK ABOUT MY PERSONALITY BECAUSE IT'S SOUND LIKE PERSONAL

The Iraq war took priority over domestic disaster prevention.

On Mother's Day: It's just a rip-off, to tell the truth, a chance to sell my perfume and other things that ladies like.

Eternity becomes more beautiful as we age, if we age well. If we age poorly, then we don't improve our minds; we don't refine all the aspects of our being.

A lot of actors think they can't be happy without the acting... But I think I couldn't be happy with it anymore.

Off stage it's cool-out time. You can't funk and roll ALL the time.

While we wait for God to work for us, God is waiting to work through us.

Western laziness consists of cramming our lives with compulsive activity, so that there is no time at all to confront the real issues.

It never really worked for me to have long arguments about motivation.

Dear though the reader might be, I'd be silly to cater to what the reader wanted.
