I didn't become an actor for the money, so I can't stay with a job for that reason. I did too many years of theater where you just get by from month to month, happily, to make that a priority.

Unless I have to, I can't take a job for the money. Unless my children are going to be out on the street, I have to be a little bit picky.

I was always snobby about soap operas, and commercials, too, but one does have to eat. I remember auditioning for a commercial for a mouthwash or chewing gum or something, and I had to pretend to be the back end of somebody in a horse costume. After that, I said, 'That's it. That's it. You've sunk too far!'

Unfortunately, a lot of kids don't read anymore. I don't know what we can do about that.
