I get an opportunity to communicate with the audience about the movie that I've made. I get the chance to bring attention to the film that I've made. I care a lot about the movies that I make. I want them to reach an audience, and I want them to be successful. I promote nearly everything that I do, unless I've got some bad taste in my mouth.

I had no expectation of the level of adulation that would come my way. I just wanted to make a living with a regular role in a television series.

You get a sense of reference there. You feel part of something that's got order and balance and harmony to it. All the distraction and noise, all the confusion of misplaced, misdirected energy just don't happen there.

I played maybe one and a half games of Little League. The whole atmosphere of anxious parents and more anxious children was just too much for me.

Failures are inevitable. Unfortunately, in film they live for ever and they're 40 ft wide and 20 ft high.

I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.

People need to see what's going on, and they have to be exposed to the mechanisms that can help make it right.
