There are two things that create opportunities. One is being involved with something that makes money, and the other is winning awards. And the reason that winning the awards creates the opportunities is because it gives the people who are selling the picture the opportunity to make more money.

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

Doing funny scary is something that is rarely good and rarely works, and it's also something that's incredibly hard to market.

With a lot of actors, you've got to chip through the surface to see who the real person is.

I'd really like to get the girl, shoot the gun, drive the car, have fun. I even have these kind of action dreams, where I'm the action guy.

There's the most resistance to an actor singing. It's like I'm being disloyal to my industry.

I've been in silly movies and romantic movies and historic movies.
