It's always fun when you don't have to trot your stuff out, especially as a young guy.

I have teenage boys and I think teenage boys require a father to have eyeballs on them at all times.

I always act better when I'm able to curse.

I'd love to find a small movie that someone would sign off on me to do. I have no aspirations to do a big studio film because I don't think anyone would let me.

I made an enjoyable living as a very young man, but I think as I became more comfortable and knowledgeable about myself and what I wanted, I moved into acting.

People ask me all the time how I prepare and, to tell you the truth, I think if what's on the page is rich and compelling, as far as I'm concerned, if it's beautifully presented on the page, all you have to do is put yourself there and pretend, and the rest takes care of itself. That is, unless it's a real stretch with an accent or if history matters where research has to be done.

I'm not really a guy who draws on things from my own past.
