Somewhere in my callow, misspent youth, I was smart enough to marry my best friend.
Temperamentally, Sam and I are very much alike. He's a lawyer, my father's a lawyer, and I always wanted to play one. On so many levels the role just felt right. I fell in love with it as I would a woman.
We should all be so lucky in our lives to create things that we're still talking about 25 years later.
Marriage is becoming sort of fake. It's almost like a handbag. Everybody wants the newest, greatest and latest. It becomes an event, and it's definitely a status symbol in our society. I'm not saying it shouldn't be; it absolutely should be - but you shouldn't be focusing on that.
I wish I was a more religious person. I really admire Martin Sheen for his Catholicism. It's such a bedrock. I wish I had that in my life.
Malibu was a wellspring of counterculture group think.
The '90s were a time of building for me. Building a life that was sober, drained of harmful, wasteful excess and manufacturing in its place a family of my own.
Here's my theory: If a person gets worldwide fame at a young age, they're emotionally frozen at that moment. For me, that's 15 to 18, so you find yourself in your mid-20s being a glorified 15-year-old. What could possibly go wrong?
Guys are really lucky. We become our authentic selves the older we get.
For me, the battle is finding the balance between wanting to spend time with my boys and then having enough perspective to still be the disciplinarian and, like, not be in the best friend business.
I don't think any one of us would have thought that this movie would do what it did for all of us.
I couldn't have gotten sober without rehab because I needed the science.
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.
