brought fortunate literally peter taught work worked
One person who has taught me a lot and inspired me a lot was Peter Falk. I was fortunate enough to have worked with him in this movie called 'Vig.' He brought my work to a place where it literally shouldn't have been for another two or three years.
fight hard supposed
I really fight hard to make things film where they're supposed to be filmed. If something is supposed to be in New York, then it has to be in New York.
anybody throughout
I know throughout my childhood, there were many times I couldn't stand being a 'Jr.' I wouldn't want anybody else to go through that. If we'd had a boy, he wouldn't have been another Freddie Prinze.
ahead artist burnt death everybody father greater life nature opposed people quicker recognize
I just want people to recognize my father as an artist who was way ahead of his time. He was a genius. His life just burnt out quicker than it should have. And that is unfortunate, but what is more unfortunate is that everybody focuses on the nature of his death as opposed to the nature of his life, which was so much greater and more important.
exciting finally growing kid opportunity
I always appreciated that connection between a parent and a kid because I yearned for it so much. Growing up, I wanted a father, and because I've had this idea of what a father should be, it's exciting to finally have the opportunity to try and be that guy, to see if I can actually do it.
artistic call comic cool exact high kids people pretend school tease
When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school.

The '80s were all about 'Saturday Night's Main Event.'
love movies people respect seen
People who have seen my movies don't look at me like an idol. They just give me a lot of love and respect.
alone construct people
People don't think I can construct a sentence, let alone write a script.
family four job
My first job was four words in 'Family Matters.' It was huge!
I've heard, 'May the Force be with you' about as many times as, 'Hey, how you doing?'

I'm a full-time dad; I'm a part-time actor.
I would have loved to have played Spider-Man.
