I grew up in Pittsburgh. It can be tough just the culture of bullying, and rough stuff, and coarseness, and ignorance of one kind or another. I certainly can say that I realized even back then that I longed for something finer than the coarse world of whoever is toughest wins and whoever's got the biggest muscle wins. I didn't want to take that. I knew there was something else besides that and I hungered for it. And it led me in part to acting, this world I've now pursued.
It feels like he's always in on the joke and he wants us to be in on it too. It's as if he's saying, 'Hey, I see you out there. I'm having such a good time in this moment, doing this acting thing and I want you to have fun with me. Come closer. Have a seat and let's see what surprises might unfold.' And we do, because it feels joyful there and a little dangerous, and that's an intoxicating place to be.
