In this business, you have a hierarchy of stars. Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks - you name 'em, they can play any part they want. Guys like me who are somewhere down in the middle of the pack, that's a different story. I can do things in the theater that I can't do anyplace else.

The older I get, the more interesting the part has to be. Bobby Knight is extremely interesting.

The theater business has allowed me, in a way the movie and TV business has not, to do very, very interesting work. So that's what I do.
