I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.

I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.

I was looking to become more proactive with my career because I wasn't crazy with some of the scripts I was getting - this was before Blow and Hannibal - so I decided to start my own production company

The best way to learn anything is through a movie, because you have so much time to do it and you have great people teaching you.

I've only been in one fight in my whole life... in 7th grade, yet everyone thinks I'm a maniac.

The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.

You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
