You look at that movie [Dude, Where's My Car?] now, and you know exactly when it was made. And that's what kids were like then.

I try to do as much as I can. I probably knew more about Earl Mills than anybody on earth besides people who actually knew him.

Rent Control was an interesting movie. It was directed by... I had done a couple of plays off Broadway, and this Italian director came, his name was Gian Luigi Polidoro, and he determined I was the person to play the lead in his low-budget comedy. He'd won an award at the Venice Film Festival, and... He was, y'know, a skilled director.

I was, like, "Wow, is this ever going to happen again? Am I ever going to work with another bunch of people I get along with this well?" And then, sure enough, Threshold was just a great bunch of people, and I thought, "Hey, I could hang with these people for a long time!" But, unfortunately, it was 13 episodes and we were out of there.

[The Aviator] came about through John Logan, who I've been friends with for many years.

No, actually I'm trying to stay away from the big screen.

And, you know, when you are a kid, everybody wants to be an actor. I think that everybody wants to be in show business, frankly.
