For me, growing up, the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father, you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door, through my dad.

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 think we're all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want.

I don't really care about having more fame than I have.

Fame really works against actors, in a way, because our anonymity is a wonderful thing for us.

One of my favorite artists is Tom Waits, whom most people think of as a wonderful singer-songwriter and a great poet. I certainly think of him that way, but I also know him as a terrific actor. You know, that persona that he puts on when he's doing his music comes from being an actor, figuring out a persona.

Memories are not just about the past. They determine our future.
