Sometimes I make my life a living hell by writing complex stories with complex characters. But I love it.

My favorite movie of all time is 'Rocky.'

I really wasn't a class clown.

Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants.

I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids, at some point, can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the theatre.

I had many teachers that were great, positive role models and taught me to be a good person and stand up and be a good man. A lot of the principals they taught me still affect how I act sometimes and it's 30 years later.

Imagine what I could have done in ten years. I could have learned to speak Japanese. I could have played every RPG video game ever created, and if I spoke Japanese I could have played the foreign ones too! Man, I could have built a spaceship in my backyard and flew it to the moon and back, if I wanted.

Just me onstage with a mike having an intimate relationship with the audience. I don't get nervous for that. I just get excited.
