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

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.

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.

Hollywood used to be run by artists and people who loved artists... people who wanted to make movies for all the right reasons. For the love. The Art. To tell stories. Yes to make money as well, but it was about both. Now I feel, it's mostly about bottom line and making money.

Now, more then ever, we have the ability to make films for almost nothing and that's broken down all barriers of entry. I think it's a new golden age of film-making. With that, there needs to be the ability to recoup investment dollars, people need to make money.

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

I've really enjoyed the independent film world. I've had a blast. But, the reality is that I really want to make bigger movies. If I could make movies that carry great characters and great performances and great pathos, and can have an explosion or two, that would be fine with me.
