As an actor, it's fun to play guys who aren't just locked into a male pattern, but a lot of guys you're asked to play are fairly macho and have a certain rigid standard they're living by.

There was always a creative impulse in me but I never felt rooted to anything.

When you're a father, you know exactly where your heart really is. There's no question of it, no doubt. That part of your life has no second guessing.

There's nothing like castrating 20 pigs before lunch. I did that during school whenever the need arose. They'd call out the agricultural class and put us in trucks to go help the local farmers.

It's like a prehistoric reflex, you know, going out and getting the meat and bringing it back to the cave. You feel you're supposed to make it better, but more than likely she's asking you to tell her how you feel.

Trying different things is very important to me. I see people and want to wear their clothes and drive in their cars for awhile. Thats probably one reason I became an actor.

I like to spread myself out. Since I was a kid, I always recognized some void.
