I've been an admirer of Helen Mirren for a long time. As I get older, I find myself admiring older women who have poise and elegance.

Sight is about what lies right in front of us. Vision is what lies ahead.

When I moved to L.A. in 1989, the very first thing I did was this horrific pilot called To Protect And Surf.

I would go into my three different sisters' rooms in the early-mid '70s and they had very specific different tastes in music. I specifically remember lying on my different sisters' bedroom floors and listening to their record collections. And "Starship Trooper" was one of my sister Nancy's favorite songs and favorite album. Music is so defining for me. In the late '70s and early '80s, I worked in radio. When I was in high school, I worked at two different radio stations.

I've been a writer longer than I've been an actor. I wrote short stories like crazy when I was in high school and college. I worked in advertising before I moved to L.A. to pursue acting.

The Divorce, it's just like any performance that's given where I really just completely lost myself in that life.

I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.
