Like everyone else, I try to do quality work with great directors. But much of it has to do with luck.

Growing up, Paul Newman seemed like the ultimate manly actor. And then, I got to work with him and we became friends, so that was nice.

I was a film student. I became an actor but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

What people actually refer to as research nowadays is really just Googling.

I know something great will come around the corner, and that's what I'll be doing next.

I wouldn't do anything else [besides acting], for sure. If I did, it would be music or some other pursuit in this same area. I have been acting and playing music since childhood. It's what I enjoyed most.

You know, what I like about 'The Family Tree' is it's a kitchen sink movie; you can't think of anything that it doesn't either throw into the story for conflict or poke fun at or attack, even, so I like it.
