A Magnetic Personality Doesn't Necessarily

I Enjoy Learning About Different Periods And People, And Then Taking What's Universal About The Human Condition And Seeing Where It Matches Up. No Matter Where You Are, Certain Things Unite Everybody.

Fame Didn't Happen To Me In My 20s, It Has Been A Gradual Thing Which Probably Makes It Easier To Deal With.

Theater Is The Foundation Of How I Live My Life, Actually. My Father Was A Playwright, So I Was Around It All The Time And Loved To Talk Shop With Him, Just Loved It. And Basically Everything That I Hold To Be Good And True And Worthy, I Learned In The Theater. So Not Even Just About The Work, But Just About Life. Discipline, Problem Solving, Creativity, How To Get Along With People.

There's Something Grueling But Very Appealing About Rough, To-the-bone Material In A Low Budget Context. There's Less Between You And The Material. There Are Less People. There Is Less Time. There's Often Less Technology. You Have To Concentrate Very Intensely, And You Jump In A Little Deeper Because There's Nothing In Your Way... But There Are Challenges.

But I've Also Spread My Net Very Wide. If There's One Thing That I've Done On Purpose It's To Take Whatever Job, So Long As It's Interesting And Challenging, Whether It's Theatre, Radio, Tv Or Film.
