I didn't grow up around wild horses, no. But I've appreciated their beauty and their power ever since I can remember.

I never thought I was good enough actually to write.

An actor is like an instrument, tune them, play them the right way.

I have been a huge nerd to my kids. I haven't done the cool movies that they like. With '24,' I gained a lot of respect. '24' is now, it's hip, it's their generation.

There are always moments of despair when you get close to jobs and lose them at the last second. It feels like getting punched in the stomach. You feel like, 'Why do I do this?' Then you go to bed, get up the next day and forget about it.

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.

I love being on set, because I've basically grown up on a set. And now I love to contribute as a director and help steer the ship, if you will.
