I was never upset that I did not get an Emmy. That I did get an Emmy nomination, I couldn't be happier and prouder.
One way I differ from my character, Coach Taylor, is that I never would have taken this faraway job without my wife's consent.
Television, cable, features are always out there.
I'm in a great position now where I've got recognition. I'm not recognized too much.
High school was interesting, because I went from a public school middle school to an academy where the first year we were doing Latin, chemistry, biology. I mean, I was woefully unprepared for the type of study.
My daughter loves horses. My other daughter loves soccer.
I just went and saw 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' Julianne Moore - I've been in love with her since 'Boogie Nights.' But also, 'The Big Lebowski.'
I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan.
I don't want to say I'm never going to direct again, but directing's hard work.
Everything moves a little quicker in Los Angeles.
What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it.
If you're not really having a good time, it's not worth it.
I don't think I had a script on 'King Kong.' But usually you read a script and then you go and audition for it. It's rare when there's no script. I sort of like the latter better, because I'm more successful at it.
I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!
