I really lucked out in terms of how my parents encouraged me to develop my own personality so I didn't just feel incredibly insecure and like I didn't fit in.
My parents really instilled this idea in me of being your own person, almost to the extent that I couldn't do wrong. I'd get a bad grade and they'd be like, "No! What you did was great!"
I remember when I was doing Mermaids [1990], I was 16 and they gave me a B12 shot once. My parents weren't there, and when they did come, they freaked out. They were terrified, because of the Judy Garland stories. I know it's just vitamin B, but it did give you a boost.
My parents are awesome, but they're pretty left-wing.
I love good family films. I think in the context of Sept. 11 it's important that these kinds of movies are made and reach an audience.
I wanted to take care of him, have him move in, but he said he was heading back south. I fell in love with him. And I've been in love with him ever since.

I really hope people go back and watch his movies. He was such a fantastic actor. He's not just Sean's little brother. He was Chris Penn.
I really hope people go back and watch his movies, because he was such a fantastic actor, and he is going to be so missed. And he was also an amazing person, and hilarious and really, just really a great guy.
I got a call from Al. He's an insomniac. We talk in the middle of the night, ... I don't sleep, he doesn't sleep. So it is very normal that we call each other at two in the morning. I just love him so much.
