It's Taken Me A Lot Of Years

I've Never Seen A Theater Community To Rival That Of Chicago. Neither New York Nor L.a. Has The Raw Talent Or Integrity That Chicago Theater Has, And I Think It's Because Chicago Doesn't Have Broadway Or The Film And Tv Business To Distract It.

Branding Is Quite An Important Thing. As An Artist, You Want To Be Able To Explore Facets Of Yourself.

When I [first] Went To University, I Was Doing Foreign Languages, Because I Had Done Them Since I Was 13 Years Old. I Had Done French And German. I Picked Up Italian, Just Sort Of Blasted Through The Exams, [and Then] Took Off Overseas, Because I Wanted To Be An Actor. I Thought, "i'm Just Not Academic." I'm Not Very Competitive, In Terms Of Acting. But Since Going Back To University, I've Realized, I Am Highly Competitive.

I Come From The Theater, Where I Got Into Acting Because I Love Transforming. I Love Nothing More Than To Be Unrecognizable.

I Spent A Lot Of My Youth Working Outside In The Elements, And I Kind Of Revel In Defeating Tough Weather.
