I have a real eclectic taste for work, for movies, for characters and jobs.

I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.

I didn't take the reins of my career until I was about 21, and I've been in charge since then.

I worked with creative people who were very demanding of me, and they helped me reach performances that I never could have gotten on my own without being pushed and having trust in them. And so I know the best way to get the best performance of an actor, and that's not to coddle them or to baby them. It's to help them; it's to push them.

In the John Wayne movies, the Indians were savages that were trying to scalp you. That culture has really suffered because of the stereotype you see in those westerns.

I've found joy, peace and perspective. Those are very good things to have.

I feel cheesy when I see Silver Spoons. Some of it was funny, but some of it was just cheese! My kids love it, but I look at it and cringe.
