If you're not really having a good time, it's not worth it.
I don't think I had a script on 'King Kong.' But usually you read a script and then you go and audition for it. It's rare when there's no script. I sort of like the latter better, because I'm more successful at it.
I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!
I do like to cook; I'm sort of a mad scientist in the kitchen.
I also played two years of high school football but I wasn't very, how shall I say it, talented.
Austin is such a free and creative place, but I can't enjoy it as much because everyone I love is back in L.A.
I want to find material that piques my interest, keeps me outside the box and challenges me.
I love playing a role where I think I'm right and then you learn you're not.
Thank goodness I've saved my money.
We ended up moving out to Texas. We live outside of Austin. We've got a couple horses, we've got three miniature donkeys, we've got four dogs. Miniature donkeys are very warm, loving animals
We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes, but the idea is that at the end of the day, my wife and I realize that we'll always be holding each other's hand. This is a lifelong relationship, and after 12 years she hasn't gotten rid of me yet
Look, isn't there any way you can just stamp me as not crazy and let me get outta here.
I love the institution of marriage, and I love my marriage.
I always treat all the jobs I do as an acting class.
