I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.

Then I did The Tao of Steve and that was at Sundance in 2000 where it did really well.

I have 52 first cousins. My mom and dad were the only two to move to North America, so I've got deep family there, but I'm a California kid.

Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.

It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.

Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.

A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that. The one thing that I do know is that, as long as I'm prepared, I know this environment and this world.
