Sometimes I feel that 'Footloose' is the rite of passage.

And out of all the movies, I don't know what it is, I'll always sit down and watch our 'Footloose'. I cry, I get excited, I cheer, my heart pounds. I really enjoy it.

I was chubby and awkward, and the only way I could really meet girls was to join children's theater, so that's what I did.

You write a screenplay and then everybody is going to want to get in on it and we have to figure that out. I've written three screenplays that are at studios and I still haven't been making them yet so there is always something that is either going to trip something up or maybe get another pass.

I've done movies where I've had to cast actors and teach them to rap, and cast rappers and teach them to act.

I began to think that there was a place for 'Footloose' to get retold again, that there was actually a more conducive political climate, an emotional climate to explore a town that has experienced a trauma and a shock, and starts overreacting.

I'm surprised by how many people have not seen 'Footloose.'
