Film, theater and television always kind of scared me. I don't ever seriously think of myself as an actor at all, and I don't plan any film career or television career.
I just enjoy acting, whatever area - theatre, film, television.
We film in front of a live audience, and I was a theater actor before I got into television, so I like that.
I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.
I was interested in opera and it seemed to me that the only possible theatre for contemporary opera would be television. So I started working towards a kind of television kind of opera.
It's a tough transition really for theater actors to adjust to television or film, and all of these years later, I still have a tendency to play it too big.
I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.
I'd rather spend my time with grape growers than actors. In the film industry, all the money is focused on television and the stupidity of American cinema.
I lived in Chicago in the early '80s and did a ton of theater, and then Nick lived there in the '90s and did a ton of theater. Then we both moved to L.A. and did a ton of television.
