I love doing independent films, but it's very hard to make a living that way.

I always wanted to be an astronaut.

That's what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other.

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.

What, like I want to look like Dick Clark? No. I think I look great with liver spots.

There's no way that I could do a 9 to 5 job. There's no way. I was not cut out for that. You come in and you work for three months on the one job. They say, 'Great,' you know, and you're on to the next one - and you never even got fired. It's wonderful.
