I liked being a teenager, but I would not go back for all the tea in China.
When I was young and crazy, I was young and crazy. It can be hard enough just to BE in your teens and 20s. Then add fame, money, access, and every single person telling you that you're the greatest person who ever was, and it can be a recipe for disaster. Some people literally don't survive it.
It's part of your job as an actor to put your personal problems behind you and work. Good actors can do that.
The '80s were about trying to establish myself as an actor with a career. And being a teenager enjoying the fruits of being successful with lots of what I think is appropriate for that age.
I have had a lot of blessed, interesting things happen to me and have bumped up against some amazing people.
My looks have prevented people from seeing my work.
What people do in their private lives is their business, and shouldn't be anybody else's business.
Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?
When I was a teen idol, I was so goddamn pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously.
I don't look back with any bitterness, though there are a couple of judgment calls and some '80s hairdos that I'd like to do over.
Everybody is naughty, everybody is good.
I am the guy dressing up in, you know, the caveman outfit for the kids birthday parties.
Last night, we were all watching Harry Potter in bed, and I thought, 'This isn't something you have when you're single, that's for sure.'
Show me someone who doesn't have some sort of experience that they would be uncomfortable for people to know about and I'll show you a dullard.
