Once I hit 25, I realized I had to do more than just be an actor. I love acting, but there's something that makes it difficult to just be a man, a grownup. Not to take away from any actors, but I knew I wasn't going to be Tom Cruise. I knew I was a character actor, which is great and I'm proud of it. But I knew that I wanted to do more. I started producing and directing and writing and stuff for the theater, and then that grew out of hand and I sort of lost my control. I've always loved the process of filmmaking. Now I'm much more into producing docs, but I want to direct features.

The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.

I think connection makes me vulnerable. Commitment makes me vulnerable, really.

This human condition and people's stories. That's what I love. The other thing is traveling.

I wanted to do an episode about Chuck having a gambling problem. I wanted to portray my addiction on the show. But I think it's a little edgy for Saturday night.

I have a bit of a traveling addiction, and, ah, yeah. I went to, ah, Bali this summer.

Technology changing the world so quickly. I think it's even more difficult for older people to keep up in the world. And that's a challenge.
