No, I was an unknown when I walked in that room. He didn't know who I was from a fly on the wall.
My parents are retired, basically.
My life is okay, my life is pretty good.
I'm a little territorial and defensive.
I'd love to go to school and have a normal life, but I don't see any professor at Yale being able to teach me more than Steven Spielberg.
I'm not a strikingly handsome guy, but I'm in movies.
I'm only going to work now when I'm terrified.
I'm trying to find a way to eat up time without being destructive, 'cause that's my go-to, it seems.
The best movies are simple.
I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.
Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin.
I've never been able to learn from other people's mistakes - I'm not that smart - so I usually learn by trial by fire.
If I could meet my mother and marry her, I would. I would be with my mother now, if she weren't my mother, as sick as that sounds.
My family's lineage is five generations of artists who never made it.
