We live in a world in which whatever you do has a parody account online in moments.
It's so odd because I don't even know if I'm cut out for it, but being a movie star guy, I sort of end up gravitating toward the Coen brothers. That's one of the reasons my wife and I moved to L.A.: that however much of a pipe dream that would be, I moved to L.A. because I'd love to work with the Coen brothers.
When I was a carpenter, I built sets for small storefront Chicago companies. Like, I built sets for friends of mine at The House Theater.
I've lived with myself for a very long time, so I'm aware of what I look like. I'm under no false pretense that I'm a stunner, so if somebody comes up and says something about my physical appearance, it's okay.
I was born tall. I was awkward and gangly. Before that, I was a really chubby elementary school kid. I've always been sort of a physical abnormality.
My children, twins who are three years old, they're awful creatures right now.
Ultimately, I just made the decision to move to L.A. sight unseen. It took me a while to save up some money to do it.
There are people I've met in L.A. who kind of only talk about the business. Because maybe they think that's the best move.
