I have my prized possession in my wallet. That's a photograph of the first words I ever uttered to my wife, and her answer to my question when I asked her, "Will you go out with me?"

Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that.

I'm not counting any chickens.

I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.

Work takes me away from my wife, Sue, and my life in Santa Barbara.

Directing takes a lot of time.

I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
