I went to school in Wisconsin and I used to drive to see Steppenwolf in a basement.
I'm not a big one for lots of genitals flapping in the films.
attitude guy maybe original past surprising whether
When I read reviews, I go right past the plot. I don't want to read anything about the story, and I just get a take on whether or not I like the attitude of this guy first of all, or woman, and then to see if it has things in it that are surprising and original and then maybe I'll go see it.
explore front interest reason
The reason I got into acting was not to explore myself. I was a reader, I didn't care about acting. I got into it in college, but I had no interest really in that, in getting up in front of anybody.

'Breakfast at Tiffany's' isn't a great movie because Audrey Hepburn is brilliant and everyone else isn't. It's a great movie because everybody is fascinating, and she is at the center of it being amazing.

both escaped growing mother parents until wonderful
Actually, both parents were actors. My mother was Colleen Dewhurst, who was also a wonderful actress. When you're growing up, they're just your parents. I didn't want to be an actor until I was 20, so they escaped that, or thought they did.
cameras instinct intellect quite until
Actors aren't all the same. They have very different skills. There are actors of intellect who are very thoughtful about everything they do... and then there are actors of instinct who don't know what they're doing until the cameras roll... My father was actually quite thoughtful about what he did, while my mother was much more instinctual.
amount cut develop expressing shortest system time
Actors are conditioned to develop a system for expressing as much as they can in the shortest amount of time because you're going to get all cut up in a movie.
exist films home interested keeps paid television
Practically, I am interested in television because it keeps me home and it's fast, and I exist in independent films mostly, and you don't get paid for those, or you don't get paid enough.
time worked
I worked with Lukas Haas a long time ago, when he was younger, and he was wonderful.

I got my start on the stage and there's no question that I keep getting drawn back to material and artists born there.
