I'm thinking of how unexpected and yet oddly preordained life can be. Events are upon you in an instant, unforseen and without warning, and often times marked with disappointment and tragedy, but equally often leading to a better understanding of the bittersweet truth of life.

[Jodie Foster] is one of my favorite actors and people in the business.

I have had a lot of blessed, interesting things happen to me and have bumped up against some amazing people.

It's always a good day when I get to work with Jim Belushi, who I adore.

Whether you're a movie star or doing time in a correctional institute, everybody can have bad judgment, and it's something you have to address. You learn to go on from it. It shouldn't stand in your way. You shouldn't let people continue to throw it in your face.

I love that movie [The Specials]. I love James Gunn. I always sort of suspected that he would do well for himself.

Trying to execute that kind of intricate staging in the West Wing at the same time you're doing intricate dialogue - it's like patting your head and rubbing your stomach!
