Kids are a great excuse for you to stop acting like one.
Children recognize me from Free Willy, and their parents recognize me from Reservoir Dogs. The kids are like, 'There's Glen,' and the parents are like, 'Don't go near that guy.'
I don't have a boss . . . nobody tells me what to do.
You know, every movie you make can't be great, no matter who you are.
Well, one thing for sure, I won't be remembered for 'Free Willy.' Or maybe I will.
I've never been able to read for anything, and every time I have, I've never gotten the part. And I don't know why that is. I just can't. Reading or auditioning for something... It's like it's this mental block in my brain, and I just can't do it. But when people ask you to do stuff without making you go through that, it's a much more pleasant experience.
My career has been very strange. My career is like a heart monitor. I get involved in a good project now and then to keep things going. And then I make things that I work on that I hope are going to be good so I can make a living and keep a roof over the heads of those little monsters I have in my house.
Encourage your kids' artistic side. Toughen up everything else.
I've learned my lesson over the years about what to say and what not to say in interviews, that's for sure.
Is it really selling out if it feeds your family?
