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 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.

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.

It's always fun to play a bad guy because you get more to do. It's more arch. There's more energy to throw into it.

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.

How much do you have to pay someone to be in a George Clooney/Alexander Payne film? NOTHING!! Because everyone in the world wants to be a part of it. Therefore you pay nothing. And that continues until you become something they need... I'm not that kind of actor. I'm blue collar and very replaceable.

I'm not a broad comedy guy. I've been funny in movies, but I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who's sometimes funny.
