You get dinged for wanting to do a comedy, then wanting to do a big-budget action film, and then wanting to do an indie. But you can't let other people trying to label you get in the way of trying to do something artistically.

I do enjoy animated movies.

The biggest problem for me was feeling that as I became more balanced and a better man that I wouldn't have the fire to create from.

As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.

People are losing jobs, people need to be entertained, and I want to make movies that parents and children can look forward to seeing, that can become a kind of family ritual.

I came out of independent film, that's my roots.

Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. They're really the future, aren't they?
