I saw it a little darker, a little different. I envisioned it a little more insane, and a little more devious. I thought I was going to be the devil.
Actually, I had a, I had a pet tortoise.
And TV is not the easiest place to be dangerous or on the edge. Especially on a Saturday night.
Human beings. People's stories. That's really what gets me excited.
The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
This human condition and people's stories. That's what I love. The other thing is traveling.
But I used to have a bit of a gambling problem. And that would have been the answer to my prayers. It got worse when I started playing this character, too.
But I like being nasty. I like being cranky. Especially if it's a cold day in Chicago, it's nice to just take it out on Kyle, because he's so easy to scream at, you know?
I have a bit of a traveling addiction, and, ah, yeah. I went to, ah, Bali this summer.
Technology changing the world so quickly. I think it's even more difficult for older people to keep up in the world. And that's a challenge.
But I'm trying to play into this role as much as possible and be a nicer person in real life.
