It's funny because all through the '80s I didn't do TV and movies very much. I prided myself that I was making a living in the theater.
From the time that I was in high school, my life really revolved around live theater, so it almost feels genetic.

From 1985 to 1994, I lived in Manhattan in a big old loft right off Times Square. I could walk to work, which was in a couple of Broadway theaters, to Howard Stern's studio, and to 30 Rock for 'Letterman' and 'SNL.' Even in New York, walking to work ...

I always envisioned working in film and in theater. Theater and film are not, they're not in any way substitutable. What I love about theater is so different from what I love about film, and I enjoy the craft of both.
