If you're not really having a good time, it's not worth it.
What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it.
I don't want to say I'm never going to direct again, but directing's hard work.
My daughter loves horses. My other daughter loves soccer.
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!
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.
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.
I'm in a great position now where I've got recognition. I'm not recognized too much.
Television, cable, features are always out there.
I love playing a role where I think I'm right and then you learn you're not. And it's what you do with that information.
The only reason anyone ever called me a hero is because I get this paper, here.
When I'm around authority, I still feel like I'm 14 or 15 years old.
My wife, she likes to have things uncluttered, and if something is missing, then one has to be very careful not to ask her if it was thrown out - you have to ask her simply where it might be.
I work six months and get three or four with the family. I've stopped racing to get to the red light.
