Being able to act for a living is a blessing. I have a great theater company that's almost 40 years old.
But I've got more to learn, too. I don't feel like I'm done or I know it all.
Careers, like rockets, don't always take off on schedule. The key is to keep working the engines.
Careers, like rockets, don't always take off on time. The trick is to always keep the engine running.
I have a band that I started with a buddy of mine, a Vietnam veteran pal named Kimo Williams from Chicago.
I have veterans in my family. But I didn't know anything about DAV, Disabled American Veterans.
I played a character in 'Ransom' who was as evil as they come.
I save money when I'm working so that I never have to take a role simply to pay the bills.
I started a theater called Steppenwolf. We've been very supportive of the veterans there.
I started as an actor. I started directing because Steppenwolf needed another strong director.
I study to learn, to be an educated person.
I was always fascinated with rock 'n' roll, or girls, or something like that when I was a kid.
I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.
I'm not registered to any party. I don't really play in the political world. I'm really more interested in getting things done.
I'm thrilled I can make a living doing something I enjoy.
Well, I've been to Iraq twice now. I was in Baghdad in June and then north of Baghdad in November.
Sometimes you're in great demand. Then suddenly your career hits the breaks.
I've never had to compromise myself for a job, ever.
It's always been my dream to do a dance scene with Anthony Hopkins.
