I was spoiled by theater, where there is no editor.

Knock wood, but I started acting professionally when I was 16, and I've always been able to support myself since then.

So I was hugely thrilled that my first scene ever on camera was with Hal Holbrook.

It's difficult to keep that perspective, I think, as a parent: to know your boundaries as to what's good parenting or just projecting your own expectations on your kids. That's the hardest.

David Fincher is a longtime friend. As a director, my wife had worked with him as a makeup artist when he would do Madonna videos years before, and his child and my oldest child were in preschool together, so we're kind of dad-friends through that, too.

You know, you never say never because before I did 'ER,' I always said 'I'll never do a TV series,' so that's what I said.

Be what you are. Don't change yourself for anything. God made you that way for a reason.
