I've led a very eclectic life.

As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.

We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.

I figured I would have to tell someone to kiss my ass before it was all over, and I have -- twice.

If something really strikes a chord with an audience, if it pops on TV, I don't mind watching it for a few minutes.

I've really dreamed of doing television. All of us do television, coming up. But when I was coming up, television was a black hole for actors. Now, television has a certain cache. Now everybody wants to be on TV because they're doing adult dramas. If you're an actor, it's like, "Well, get me on television," because it's the only place you can do it and also make a living at it. If my kids need shoes, I better do a TV show because I damn sure don't make any money with independent films.
