dream art years
I've really only had one (dream) since I got into this business at 13 years old, which was to be in this business forever. Once I did my first television commercial, I caught that itch and that bug. I want to be a part of pieces of art - as far as cinema is concerned - that people will want to see for generations to come. That's my dream.
art book school
I spent a long time in art school so I can really draw. I'll doodle and suddenly I'll find the beginning of the movie in one picture. Usually, I start my stuff on the telephone. Right by the telephone I've got a book of doodles. When I'm on the phone, I'll be doing a drawing eventually.
growing-up father artist
My father, George, has also affected the choices in my life regarding films. I like films that take chances or say something different or experiment. Growing up with him, I was surrounded by different artists - not just actors or film-makers but cartoonists, poets, writers.

I was expecting a little more from ol' Sharon y'know? I wasn't about to get down and dirty with her, so it was a bit of a let down. Actually, she hurt my lip.

Growing up in this business and truly wanting to be a part of the world of film, I'm a truly privileged person standing here today.

I'd definitely say that when I'm alone with a girl, I'm doing the baby voices, all that stuff, rubbing noses, the whole thing.

My love of performing goes way back. My Mom got me on Romper Room when I was five--It was my favorite show. But they couldn't control me. I would run up and smack the camera, and I'd jump around and do my little flips and routines.
