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.

Any role that big is going to be a challenge for any actor, but for an actor of a young age, it's going to be even tougher.

My website's kind of fun for me. I get to do drawings on that. It's kind of fun.

This is many, many years ago. It was shortly after "Starman" I think. I don't know how close I was to getting the part. I met with [director] Penny Marshall and that's one that I knew would be a hit. It just felt hit-ish. But it's like you go to a store and you see a jacket and you go "I love that jacket" and you try it on and it's too big or too small for you and it's the only one they have. For some reason that part just didn't fit me.

I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.

I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop.

Execution is everything.
