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

Obviously, my perception of the world is one where humans are a threat to our survival.

I like directing. It takes a lot out of you, but I'd like to do it again - I just have to find a story I want to tell.

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.

Things could be worse. You remember that, and you go on with your life.

I think of myself more as a workhorse actor. It will be hot and cold and up and down, but no one will kick me out of the business.

I always watch rushes. They give me a sense of whether I'm going in the right direction. You work hard and hopefully get encouragement from what you see.
