Follow your deepest dream, the one you had as a kid... but stay focused.
I always think it's absurd when people go, 'How can you have a show about Batman without Batman?' 'Gotham' is plenty fascinating, 'Chinatown' style.
Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.
Yeah, I'd done a bunch of pilots. Some that had gone for a while. One that went for 13 episodes. But I had never been on a show that had lasted more than that.
We own our movie and are now close to breaking even, even without finishing domestic DVD deals.
Then I did The Tao of Steve and that was at Sundance in 2000 where it did really well.
The day I showed up to South Carolina to work, I was with my kid and my ex and our dog and Kirk was hanging with this weird guy and I kind of defined the two of them by his friend and made a vow to avoid him.
It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.
It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.
I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before, but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.
I am in Ghost Rider but I'm not sure when it's coming out.
Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.
My mom, she's from Ireland, coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.
I'm probably the least famous of any guy who's worked as much as I have.
I play grizzlys, but I'm not a grizzly. I'm a song-and-dance man.
Even now, when people come up to me and say, 'My kid's an actor. They want to move to L.A. What should they do?' Even if you wanted to help them as much as possible, there's really nothing you can do.
My characters are always utterly sympathetic to me, if that makes any sense.
I'm really good friends with Danny Trejo.
It's always surprised me that the most successful and really amazing shows are also the happiest environments and very welcoming.
