Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.

I actually run a non-profit where one of the main objectives is to branch out and get a new audience for the theater.

Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.

I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.

What is important is to maintain integrity of the story, of the character, of the movie, even if it's a big production.

I'm conflicted with theater in the city because you want to reach a diverse audience, and that audience doesn't typically go to the theater.
