For a couple of years, I focused more on producing because I wanted to be close to home, after traveling a lot for work.

I'm claustrophobic. I can't go into haunted houses. They have these tight, dark, enclosed space. I freak out. That's my phobia. It gets me out of stuff. Someone asks me to do something and I tell them I can't because I'm claustrophobic.

We found that our kids enjoy those simple adventures we take as a family. I'm driving, my wife's the copilot and we give one kid a choice of what they want to go do. We eat a lot of bad food and sleep in some interesting hotels.

There are certain projects that you love to be involved in, no matter what the capacity, and there are certain projects that I probably wouldn't even consider getting behind.

It's always a good collaboration between the actor and the writer and the director to try stuff out, during the process.

We have dinner every single night, Monday through Friday, with our children. We sit down around 6 or 6:30 and it's a family dinner - it's time to check in, just to be around each other.
