I felt like Life was a great show. It was really well-written.
It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.
I honestly feel like we never had a bad episode by TV standards. Every week I felt there were so many strong components of the show, especially the writing.
It's always surprised me that the most successful and really amazing shows are also the happiest environments, and very welcoming.
A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that. The one thing that I do know is that, as long as I'm prepared, I know this environment and this world.
Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.
Then I did The Tao of Steve and that was at Sundance in 2000 where it did really well.
It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.
I am in Ghost Rider but I'm not sure when it's coming out.
It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.
Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.
We own our movie and are now close to breaking even, even without finishing domestic DVD deals.
I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
My mom, she's from Ireland, coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.
