Anytime you get a chance to play some extreme character, in any direction, it's always a great blessing.

I'm not sure that I'm really relevant as a director anymore. Or as a writer, either, to tell you the truth.

You have to really know what you're saying.

I think my stuff's kind of obsolete now, you know? I'm making Model Ts or something, and everybody else is making spaceships.

I grew up in Arkansas and that's the law. My dad was a high school basketball coach, so I was raised as a coach's son and I was a baseball player back in Arkansas, and I lived in Texas, too, so I was just surrounded by sports. So that's what I was going to do: Pitch for the St Louis Cardinals. I had no idea I was going to be an actor. So I got my collar bone broken in the Kansas City Royals training camp. And once I got hurt I started doing other things for a while.

I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip.

I've never heard of anybody smoking a joint and going on a rampage. It makes you lie around on the floor and look at the ceiling. What's wrong with that?
