For me I don't feel it is a success in the career to be the pretty woman career success comes from being characters who tell us something about the truth.

Which is - you know like check it out I'm pretty young I'm only about 40 years old. I still have maybe another four decades of work left in me. And it's exceedingly likely that anything I write from this point forward is going to be judged by the world as the work that came after the freakish success of my last book right?

People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it's easy to be chewed up and spat out. You've got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it.

For someone who's had the level of success I've had there's been very little critical review of my work which is pretty fascinating.

I'm an eternal realist and the success rate for being an actor is pretty low.

I'm probably the least flexible athlete you'll find. When it comes to yoga I can't get in the positions and I can't hold them. You have to be pretty flexible to do it. Once you get certain positions you have to have the core strength to hold those positions. It's a pretty good workout.

I have a pretty expanded view of what art is. I include pop music and even some sports.

I'm a huge fan of Chicago sports and Chicago food and I love going home and my family is still there. I guess it's pretty easy to have a normal life in Chicago.

I'm pretty quiet. But I love to play sports. I like playing all sports. I'll act goofy at times around my wife and my son around my own family. I like to have fun in general.

My style has been pretty much like a newspaper. It's got politics in it it's got media sports family relations you know all the sections you would expect and wonderful religion things.
