My interpretation of a strong director is someone who knows their story. That's what directors are, they're storytellers because they're directing where your focus is going to be as an audience.

I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.

I grew up in Houston, and I remember we had separate drinking fountains, and black people sat in the balcony of the theater... We had an African-American housekeeper growing up who was really like my second mother. I thought it was silly - hatred just because of the color of somebody's skin.

I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.

Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.

Before I was an actor, I was never able to hold a job for more than 3 months for some reason. It just wouldn't hold my interest, so there was some way that I wound up quitting or getting fired from it. But being an actor is perfect, because movies usually take about three months to shoot. Then it's over and they say, 'Hey, great job!'

I'd love to do a golf movie. I turned down Don Johnson's role in 'Tin Cup.' I regret that.
