I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor.

You know, I started out really hot out of the box. Then I've definitely had and up-and-down career. And when things started cooling off again, it frustrated me.

To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States.

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

You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.

I just know what it's like being an East Coast person, being from New Jersey.

I never, ever wanted to be an actor.
