I've been lucky - I've been an actor for eight years and I've never been out of work.

I want my children to live in the country, to be a part of nature.

Well, I grew up in a tough neighborhood.

Frequently parents forget that children are people. I don't try to treat Kristen as an adult, but I do try to treat her as a person, with a child's sensibilities.

True friendships don't fade in Hollywood, as so many myths about show business would have you insist.

Friends, near or far, are important to us. All of ours have an awareness of other persons' feelings, a courtesy that's inevitable. When I find that consideration in a fan, I'm immediately impressed.

That first year at Universal was a big blur and, naturally, I thought they were wasting me. I didn't realize at the time that I was learning my craft and acting more easily in front of the camera.
