I've never done theater professionally. But I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, so I did some theater there.

Not to sound cliché or anything, but with the downtime that I have and the possible platform that my work could give me, I'd like to figure out a way to give back and make a difference, you know?

My job has me traveling all the time, and I got this house, so my downtime is spent sort of making a home. Every year it's different, and I try to do things that are more fulfilling.

I'm working on my house and playing with my fire pit and kind of just hanging around and making my home feel homey.

I'm so southern Ohio. And Cleveland is a different world, you know?

Anything that I do is something that I'm passionate about and really believe in, no matter how it turns out.

I'm not really a fan of organized religion.

I think it's important how you spend your time. I try to make sure that I'm growing.

Obviously, in my twenties, a lot of downtime was spent having a good time, which I don't regret; that was what I needed to do to get some things out of my system.

You have a lot of stages as an actor.

You can construct the character of a man and his age not only from what he does and says, but from what he fails to say and do.

Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.

I want to see the birth of my baby. Hopefully it's a boy. He can play for St. John's.

I believe in the directorial point of view and directorial choices.

Our task is to take this earth so deeply and wholly into ourselves that it will resurrect within our being.

Being honest is what counts. To make the ordinary extraordinary is so much better than starting with the extraordinary.

The happiest excitement in life is to be convinced that one is fighting for all one is worth on behalf of some clearly seen and deeply felt good, and against some greatly scorned evil.

I like all kinds of music. I listen to Abigail Washburn, the Punch Brothers, and Marc Johnson, the great clawhammer player. I also listen a lot to Sirius Radio, there's a lot of bluegrass there.
