I wrote a script and I've been whispering in director's ears for a really long time and I'd love to direct.

I'm in the middle of just trying to impress my nieces, who think I work for the bus company because they saw a picture of me on a bus. I did an independent movie with Mark Pellington (I Melt with You), and then tried to impress my nieces again, by starring opposite Miley Cyrus (in So Undercover). So, basically I'm just trying to get some respect from my family.

I'm just a stage actor from Chicago.

I grew up on the stage, where you just throw yourself into projects and don't get in your own way.

I come from a theater family and a theater background, and I come from a philosophy that you respect the space you occupy when you work and you put everything that you have into something.

I like to box. It's a great release.

Sometimes in life, we have to continue to learn the same lesson until it sticks.
