Steve and I saw eye to eye on the story and I got the part, but I think in the beginning it was due to my brother's instigation. So I owe him for that.

I've always seen making movies as a bunch of little births and deaths. We come in. We don't know anybody or very few people that we work with, but the nature of the job pulls us into a sort of an intimate kind of relationship and communication and then they're gone and it's kind of melancholy. You miss that guy but then suddenly you're working with him again maybe somewhere.

I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers... I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.

My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it's a good story I usually enjoy doing the character.

But on the other hand I believe I'm a private person too, and I enjoy that aspect of my life as well.

Some of my oldest friends are actors. But that's not the only place my friends come from.

Yes, I took up the guitar when I was about 14 or 15, in high school.
