People got to know me very gradually. It was little things. It’s still like that. ‘That Thing you Do!’ was a big thing. It’s always been very gradual. Like I say, people still ask me if I’m still acting. ‘I’ve seen all your movies. What are you doing now?’ Ha ha! Steve Zahn Read Quote
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.

I’m huge on spring and summer gardening. I’m really proud of my perennial beds. That’s a passion of mine. Steve Zahn Read Quote
I’ve never had the luxury – or the nightmare – of having something just blow up and be this huge success and then have everything thrown at you. Being ‘the best friend’ lessens the responsibility, ’cause I can still go do another movie after something that doesn’t do well. Steve Zahn Read Quote
