I like the fact that a modern television and modern drama on cable has characters that are really intricate and deep and have multiple layers.

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

The stage is a training ground and it's where you learn what's funny and what's successful.

I've always been a guy that doesn't do well waiting for people to say, "You can act." It's always been a part of me.

When you're making an independent film what you don't have in time and money you have to make up with creativity and diligence.

Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.

If I could act in theater, my whole life, and never act in film or television again, and just direct the rest of my life, I would gladly do that.
