I always think that I'm the best thing in a lot of bad movies. Personally, I have to. I think that I like me as an actor.

Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.

I was like, what the hell is my life coming to? I'm a trained actor! I've done Shakespeare and here I am having farting contests with an imaginary dog!

Charlie Brown's good. I always had a little crush on that Lucy. I thought she was kind of a hot little brunette.

To me, the punk rock kids I grew up with were really, really smart, and to me, respecting those kids was a really big deal.

My first love is acting, but the reality is that I just don't get too many opportunities to stretch, and grow, and inspire myself as an actor, certainly not in terms of where I make money. Yeah, I can go off and do a play, but the reality is as a profession, directing is exponentially more satisfying.

My tone and my style are reflected in the movies I choose to make. I want to make big movies. My dream is to be Jon Favreau or Ben Affleck.
