I like doing family films.

There's not a comedy actor who doesn't want a chance to do drama, and vice versa. As actors, we're always looking to be pushed and to do the other side of the coin.

Being onstage is like being rock star. Whereas if you're doing a movie, it's such a confined space. You know, you do a comedy, it's so hard, too, 'cause with a comedy, there's no vocal reaction, there's no energy that you get back that spurs you on to be funnier because everyone has to be quiet.

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.

I got into a bad jag of movies that helped pay the rent and I thought would help further me along.

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'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.
