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

I play a lot of chess. I probably played 200 games while we were making 'Andromeda.'

I can be tough on actors, but I also let them know early on in our relationship what I expect from them.

I was very outgoing, and a good-looking kid. I started doing all the catalogs. I made 60 commercials by the time I was 6. I must have been a natural, because I never took an acting lesson.

I became a country music fan in 1990 when I moved to Colorado. It was my first exposure to it because I'm from a city. I've been a fan of country music ever since.

There's some things that you're passionate about as a director. You just know it has to be a certain way. The challenge is resolving those so everyone is happy and no one feels that they have not been heard.

I have a career I am proud of as a child actor. I'm not running away from it or embarassed with anything I did.
