  • I shot Footloose nearby, and we used to hike. Very fond memories.

  • I had to choose, I'd be so sad. They are flip sides of the same coin. I love both comedy and drama.

  • Sweet things happen. They still do.

  • Directors say that you should get actors before they are recognized. They will be a pain or have an opinion.

  • Young people are more intelligent and sophisticated.

  • I recently turned down a film that I didn't want my kids to see. Priorities shift. Sometimes I'm sad about that, but not enough to do anything about it.

  • I failed to fulfill what should have been an interesting role. I couldn't take their formula and bring what I had, my humor, my ideas, and make it my own.
