The Kennedys have always represented a certain royal quality, Camelot, and they represent a great deal of integrity and strength and perseverance; faith in the future of America and where we could go. What a tragedy it was that the carpet was pulled out from under our feet.

Hopefully, that people could see a progression in my performances because that's how it's always felt to me.

I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.

I had such a good time working with John Woo and John Travolta, and it was so professional. I want to work with people who are real professionals.

Jail was a result of me not taking time for myself. So I was forced to take some time for myself.

I'm trying not to put myself into anything I'm not 100 percent confident about.

There was a time when I felt I should do everything that was offered to me, you know, ride the wave.
