french-quarter people rats
I was a French Quarter rat from the moment I could get on a bus by myself and go to the French Quarter. I played music most of my early life and it just seemed that to entertain people was a really good thing to do.
gary
I love working with Gary Sinise.
character essence acting
Good acting comes from finding the essence of a character.
careers los-angeles
I began my career in Los Angeles and started working fairly quickly.
book fiction firsts
I collect books, primarily first-edition 20th-century fiction.
television guests shots
I don't do a lot of guest shots on television.
book reading enough
I love reading. I'm fortunate enough to have signed books by Faulkner, Steinbeck, Thomas Pynchon.
people quality acting
I'd like to be doing quality acting in a quality role and making as many people as possible happy.
successful careers filled
If 50 percent of your career is not filled with failure, you're not really successful.
actors done broadway
The only thing I haven't done as an actor, other than Thai puppet theater somewhere, is act on a Broadway stage.
jobs important needs
You take jobs so much of the time when you don't need to necessarily work for a living, but it becomes important who you are going to work with.
self way stranger
Again, as egotistical as I am, as self-centered as I am, and as much as I love strangers idolizing me, I find it very crass to be self-promoter in a way.
book play letters
I have 800 books of just Samuel Beckett's work, tons of his correspondence, personal letters that he wrote. I have copies of plays he used when he directed, so all of his handwritten notes are in the corners of the page.
thinking boys two
Thinking fascinates me, and I probably spend too much time in my mind. My wife says that my perfect world is to be in the Suburban driving, with her next to me and the boys in the back seat and complete silence for two thousand miles.
