I Take Things Very Seriously, And I Give Myself Time To Come Down And To Ramp Up, And It's An Inside Spiritual Journey For Me. I Feel Like Acting Is A Way Of Feeling Your Personality, And It's Really Special. Special To Have This Kind Of Effect On People. You Can Only Have That Effect If You're Really Outside Of Yourself. You Can't Look At Yourself And Do What I Do At The Same Time. I Have Done It That Way In The Past, But It Doesn't Really Work. I Can Only Soar Within The Parameters Of Time, And I Use Music Analogies.

I Love To Read, And I Like The Fact That There's Some Silence In My Life.

I'm A Big Fan Of Period Pieces, And I'm A Big Fan Of The Old-time Westerns.
