I was in high school, and I was the guy that always got cast in the school play. Theater is huge in high school in Minnesota, and I knew that I was very good at that, and gifted, and I was 'the guy,' but it still wasn't something I ever thought of as 'a job' or something that one could do professionally.

It goes all the way back to 'Psycho.' Movies with twists like that are memorable because they're so simple.

Let me tell you something, planes and kids... I've got a 3 and 1 year old, I don't wish that on anybody.

I'm a good dad; I spend a lot of time with my kids.

Politics was sort of a way of life in our family.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

I am a father. My son's name is Max and my daughter's name is Billie Grace. Twelve years ago Max was born with Down Syndrome. His journey has been complicated by infantile seizures, sleep apnea, dietary challenges and now, puberty!

There's something really liberating standing in front of an audience and playing live. It's a very communal experience, because we're giving a lot from the stage, but the crowd is giving a lot back to us, and it ends up feeling like family by the end of the show.
