If I find what I like, maybe in about five years well be able to afford to build a home in the country.

Whenever I get a free day, I drive up to some part of California that looks promising on the map.

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.

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

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.

Well, I grew up in a tough neighborhood.

I think children learn from example. I don't believe in raising them in an authoritative atmosphere.
