I want to find material that piques my interest, keeps me outside the box and challenges me.

Austin is such a free and creative place, but I can't enjoy it as much because everyone I love is back in L.A.

One way I differ from my character, Coach Taylor, is that I never would have taken this faraway job without my wife's consent.

It's much more enjoyable being an actor.

I don't want to say I'm never going to direct again, but directing's hard work.

I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!

I love the institution of marriage, and I love my marriage.
