When life hits you pretty hard, you can go into a dark corner.

I never started out to be an action actor. I was an ensemble actor.

I do believe that American should deal from strength.

Movies are a whole different ball-game, now. It's much more of a business - very scientific.

When you are young, you often think that the world spins around you. You think you can do anything, can take the world on your shoulders.

In this day and age, if you're aspiring to be an actor, and you're putting all your eggs in one basket, you could be disappointed. I started out as an actor, but I forced myself to be a writer, even though I wasn't very good at it and had never written. I don't think I ever passed an English course in my life. My first 8 to 10 scripts were pretty horrendous, but I stayed at it until I eventually found a voice and a subject that people were interested in. So, I recommend that you go out and try to be as versatile as possible: writer, actor, producer and especially director.

I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.
