I loved growing up in Ohio.

Growing up in an atmosphere of storytelling made me an actor.

We moved around a lot when I was growing up. I was always the new kid in class, but I was good at making friends. With an upbringing like that, I was either going to become an actor or a politician. Thank God I became an actor! I'm not cut out for politics.

The first long chapter of my career was almost entirely theater so that, by the time I was 30, 35, I sort of knew who I was as an actor, and I was gradually learning who I was as a human being.

I Know You Care' is really personal and fragile for me. For me, it's about losing a family member and also about a breakup. It's about this idea of losing someone for good.

I pity my brother Ferdinand, knowing by my own feelings how sad a thing it is to live apart from one's family.

My older sister, Amy Jo, and I - we are the first generation of my family to stay on at school and do any exams at all.

I write every day, including weekends. For writers, there are no weekends. It's just that your family is around, looking mournful, wondering when you're going to pay attention to them.
