I was a really bad kid. Then, I got sweet as I got older.
It's unfortunate when kids get hurt, but I wish parents would monitor what their kids are doing and watching. It's common sense, really.
Each night (Scott) would sit at home obsessively pouring over the script while I'm down at the bar knocking drinks back. Our styles complemented each other.
After that movie I wasn't very proud of my performance I got an acting coach, ... He's just helped me a lot, so much, and the past five or six films I feel like I'm getting better with every film.
Is this the worst you've ever had to go boom-boom?
We were doing side-straddle hops, ... and, you know, deep knee bends.
I should quit, but man we have so much fun.
The worse the reviews, the better for our demographic.
I don't feel I really had anything to prove, ... The part was offered to me outright, so I didn't audition for it. But pretty much Southern, ne'er-do-well, you know, father of a beautiful little girl ... Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much me. Yeah.
My heart goes out to the kid's family, but we've done everything we can to prevent this type of thing from happening,
She threw up from soup on my shoes,
Oh, yeah, ... I had some shipped down from Tennessee, absolutely. I had a few cases sent down - arrived in Mason jars - handed it out to the cast and crew.
When I used to go into bars people would try and fight me. Women would punch me 10 years ago or put cigarettes out on my arm or my face. But it doesn't seem to happen any more. They show us a lot of love.
It's just an unhealthy way to approach something, trying to outdo your last thing. You've gotta trust evolution, you've gotta trust that the bar is moving, that you don't need to force the bar. It'll just happen.
