Start producing, some writing, directing is definitely what I want to do and I'll be doing a lot more in the future as well.

I want to look at my audience and see all walks of life. I want to do something for everybody.

I don't like speaking on things that I don't care about and that I'm not personally invested in.

ESPN Zone was probably the coolest thing I could do [making "Hardball"]. But Navy Pier was the other thing. I'd take my bicycle and ride down to Navy Pier and just hang out. Try to get a phone number or something. That was my thing.

Being compared to that man [Michael Jordan], who has accomplished so much in his lifetime and is known as one of the greatest ever, is an amazing compliment, but I still want to be looked at as an individual and have my own lane and my own career and looked at as "That's Mike." "That' s Michael B."

I'm hoping to develop a lot of graphic novels and television shows and films and animation. I've got my hands in a lot of different things!

As an actor, you never want to feel like a tool. You never want to feel like, "Hey, just come here, say this, stop here, look this way," and that's it. You want to have a little input.
