I'm As Flighty As Anybody. You Put A Lot Out There. I've Been Through The Process A Lot. When I Play A Major Role, It's My Instinct To Create A Nice Atmosphere. People In The Major Roles Dominate The Tone Of An Entire Film. To My Mind, It's Much Easier To Work Creatively When Everyone's Friendly.

My Father Was A Man Of The Theater. I Grew Up In A Theater Family. As A Young Man, As A Boy, I Gypsied Around With My Siblings And My Parents To, Like, Eight Different Towns, Went To Eight Different Schools. All Those Things Were Extremely Formative, And I Think That's What Happens.

I Grew Up In A Theater Family. My Father Was A Regional Theater Classical Repertory Producer. He Created Shakespeare Festivals. He Produced All Of Shakespeare's Plays, Mostly In Shakespeare Festivals In Ohio. One Of Them, The Great Lakes Theater Festival In Cleveland, Is Still Going. So I Grew Up Not Wanting To Be An Actor, Not Wanting To Go Into The Family Business.
