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

Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.

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.

I don't think I had a script on 'King Kong.' But usually you read a script and then you go and audition for it. It's rare when there's no script. I sort of like the latter better, because I'm more successful at it.

It's much more enjoyable being an actor.

Thank goodness I've saved my money.

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