The best food is in Chicago. There are great restaurants everywhere, from fancy places to burger joints.
I don't feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else's writing.
I've waited my entire life to be busy. Whenever I hear actors complain about being busy, I think, 'shut up.' Because you do, you wait to be successful or to be able to work.
