I'm trying to reestablish my career and do great work and give my kids the life they deserve.
Being alone is scarier than any boogey man and the reason why I don't choose to see Horror movies as a rule.
I'm a very fortunate actor. I'm blessed to be the position I'm in right now. Hell, I'm blessed to be in any position, you know? There are so many guys who had good lives, great lives, and blew it.. .I think there are some guys who think they don't deserve to have good lives. They feel they don't deserve their good fortune, so they throw it away. One of my good friends was Chris Farley. Chris blew it. He blew the whole enchilada.
You must have to want it so badly, if there is any way you can live without it, get out of it. Being an unsuccessful actor is like having a skin disease. Make sure your passion is not misplaced.
It was dog food. Beef livers with onions in a can. You open it up and it looks like vomit.
Fatherhood didnt change me in the beginning very much.
My wife and I are a team, and it's good for my work because I'm interested in working from a stable base.
I think being a movie star is about whether an audience can watch you and care about you.
I didn't come to Hollywood to drink or get high, and I don't want to be considered a cool actor - I want to be a great actor.
Whatever it is, if you draw, you paint, you're a carpenter, you play football, the more you do it, you're a journalist, the more stories you write, the more people you interview and navigate your way through these different personalities to get your story, the better you're going to get at it. Acting's no different.
I read a lot. I am an inveterate reader. I always have a novel going.
I'm essentially a momma's boy with a good education.
It's just acting. I take acting seriously but up to a point.
I like to touch things. In my house I have a lot of velvet drapes and thick, lush couches.
