Sometimes I think that people's characters get forged, at least in part, from their names.

I like a pickled cucumber. A regular cucumber I'm not so interested in.

My friend Ed Begley goes fishing. It's a little smelly to me, I don't like it so much. I like to eat fish, but I don't like to catch them.

In fact you can begin to discover and investigate whether you are an actor or not, whether you're in my view, qualified for a life in this profession or in this endeavor by checking yourself out and acting every day, getting plays and scripts and getting together with people and divvying up the parts and acting in one way or another, or writing things.

I like the challenge. I like a good, meaty experience for me.

I love the ocean. Boats, not so much.

I now, more and more, appreciate when I'm in a group of good people and get to work in good movies and projects. I'm wildly grateful and appreciative.
