We always spend the summer together. My wife and kids, we always go back to Massachusetts and spend the summer there near where my wife and I both grew up. I wasn't willing to sacrifice the summer to go elsewhere.
The best food is in Chicago. There are great restaurants everywhere, from fancy places to burger joints.
I think in most relationships that have problems, there's fault on both sides. And in order for it to work, there has to be some common ground that's shared. And it's not just one person making amends.
From cheesecake on a stick to meat skewers to deep-fried bananas on a stick - there are no plates anymore. In Los Angeles, everything has become a corn dog. Actually, corn dogs still work. But most other food should be stickless.
Whenever I'm offered something, I always read the script and meet the director. I still appreciate just being considered.

I don't think of myself as funny - I don't fill up a room with my humor... I would fail miserably as a stand-up comedian.
Everyone is flawed and everyone makes mistakes and is culpable.
Everybody wants to be a Bond villain. That is the coolest. To be able to portray a Bond villain, that is the feather in any actor's cap.
