I went to acting school in New York City for two years. I studied with Stella Adler

I have adopted clothes from all the projects I'm in. It's really been a while since I've bought anything myself.

It is a career of make-believe, of masks. We all have masks in life.

Adam Sandler is a really funny guy in real life. Separate from all of the movies, that is a funny man.

My Brat Pack buddies and I didn't exactly handle celebrity very well. Success at an early age is far more difficult to handle than failure.

Breakfast Club was great because we had a real rehearsal, and we shot primarily in sequence. I thought that was going to be how movies were done. I didn't really know how lucky we all were. We had a director that liked actors. I didn't know that was going to be rare.

I was just in a few episodes the first season [ of Empire]. They didn't kill me, but I haven't been back in season two or three. I don't know if they have plans for me or not. But I enjoyed working on it. And I think it's a really talented group of actors and, boy, very enterprising to try and shoot those every week, you know, with musical numbers and all that stuff.
