It's a wonderful metaphor, catching a wave, for how you can look at other challenges in your life.

Live like you're already dead, man. Have a good time. Do your best. Let it all come ripping right through you.

I know how to dance with the wind, I can use its power by sailing this way, then that way, and again this way, till finally I get to you. With rowing, you're working primarily with your arms and shoulders. But with sailing, you're making bigger use of the wind and the waves.

I went through a very hairy period. I had a movie where I was going to play Walt Whitman that fell through. At the time, I had grown this huge beard and very long hair. But then, the movie got canceled, I had some other parts, and I currently have very short hair. So, when I look in the mirror, I don't know who I am exactly. It's interesting.

My brother's my teacher, my mentor, and we both learnt all the acting basics from our father.

When you're a professional you gotta do it [your job] when you don't feel like doing it.

My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me. I'm in this wonderful position to be able to do that. The reason I do that is because I know what it takes once I engage, what that means for me personally and for my wife.
