I Was Going To Be Living There

The First Play I Did Was 'philadelphia Here I Come.' Can You Imagine That? I Am 37 Years Old I Am Doing My Second Professional Play And I Am On Stage With John Malkovich. Joan Allen, Laurie Metcalf And Gary Sinise. One Huge Name After Another. I Was Terrified And Petrified, Could Hardly Get A Word Out Of My Mouth.

What I Mostly Do Is Take The Script, Analyse The Hell Out Of It, See What's In There, See What Kind Of Person I'm Dealing With, And Then Forget I'm Playing A Father And Just Play A Person Who Exemplifies All Those Things.

I Like To Learn The Lines And Not Get Any Precontrived Things In My Head About The Part. Just Get On Stage And See What The Other Actors Are Doing, And Respond To Them As Honestly As I Can.

I Was Never Very Mature In My Relationships With Women. First Sign Of Conflict, I Was Gone.

I Believe In Divine Inspiration And Things Like That And I Really Relish A Good, Attentive, Participating Audience.
