My two sons are the most important things in the world to my wife and I - they are what I build my world around.
I was smart and married somebody who could do for me what I couldn't do for myself.
I wouldn't be where I am today without my mistakes. Particularly my mistakes. Exclusively my mistakes.
I am so impassioned when I play him,
I am the guy dressing up in, you know, the caveman outfit for the kids' birthday parties.
I am still in love with my wife.
I'm a Hollywood pinhead; I don't know about political labels.
I loved fun. I spent my whole life in search of fun. I have not given up that part of myself.
I love anything by Joan Didion. Incidentally, she was one of the local moms when I was growing up in Point Dume. She always reminded me a little bit of my mother, so I feel a great affinity. I love the precision of Didion's writing. There's a construction and a craftsmanship to her sentences that's imbued with so much emotion.
I love acting so much that I don't want to give that up.
Some actors specialize in shooting weapons and punching people. Some have the market on playing buffoons cornered, others specialize in roles that require heavy makeup or outrageous wardrobe. Some trade exclusively in a post-ironic blase attitude.
My deep dark secret is that I was a nerd in school. I liked the theater. I liked to study. I wasn't very good at sports.
My greatest regret at the passing of America-hating strongman Hugo Chavez is that he didn't live long enough to party with Dennis Rodman.
My hopes and aspirations haven't changed since I started in this business. They've been to be able to play drama, to be able to play comedy, to be able to play leading men, and to be able to play character roles. I have no other aspirations in this regard.
