I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.
I like the fact that this kind of family has been seen in a movie a million times: teenage kids, the family is a bit strained and they don't have enough money, but in the background the guy used to be a Gene Simmons type.
You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.
I don't think anyone sets out to do something bad, it's just that it's very difficult.
I grew up with Apocalypse Now and Badlands, so I had a real awe thing going.
When you make a movie, it's up to so many things and so many people.
