I've had a very interesting life. There are ways of handling the complexities. I'm willing to take on the responsibilities as a father, as a producer, as an actor; and I enjoy that. I've always been changing and evolving and growing. There's no pinnacle of power where you can sit back and relax.

Whether it's making a film or raising my children, personally I'm striving to do the right things and to learn.

As a kid, when I got to the edge of a cliff I wanted to jump off. I didn't want to kill myself. I wanted to fly.

I've always had the same values. Family for me has always been important. When I shoot, everybody comes.

My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment. I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night.

I'm someone who doesn't believe in making my problems other people's problems.

I enjoy working with writers and their scripts. It's very exciting to me. Eventually I would like to produce, direct and act onstage, but it's not a heavy pressure. When I do it, I want to do it well. I'm just educating myself with writers and scripts, because I didn't read a lot of books when I was growing up.
