When you're directing, it is a little easier, because when you're the actor, you have a to be a little more of a child. You have to get into the child's aspect of your personality a little bit more.

My interest lies in my self-expression -- what's inside of me -- not what I'm in.

I think I've had more of a variety in what I've done than most actors

One thing I have is that I have never been afraid to expose myself in a way, and I really think I got that from my mother. That's a great gift you can give to a child, that they have confidence in their abilities.

When I see these guys write all this macho stuff I want to smash their heads.

It's nice to work with people who know and trust you.

I come from a very expressive family, so it's really not surprising that we became actors. There was a lot of real-life drama in our house. Some of it was drama, some of it was comedy and some of it was comic-tragedy.
