#Quote
1I still have not given up the idea of becoming a journalist, but at 17 I decided to follow my heart and stay in Los Angeles with my girlfriend as opposed to going to Johns Hopkins.
2When I was eight years old I went to visit my brother who was working on a movie of the week with my mother and I saw how much fun he was having and I decided I wanted to try it too.
3You never get every job you want.
4It is important to make the fans that support me feel supported.
5I used to get some flack from my agents because I wouldn't even audition for parts where the hero uses violent force to be a hero.
6There are a couple of teachers I have had without whose influence I would not be as happy with who I am.
7If I couldn't broadcast baseball games, I think I would make a good impression on people.
8I technically have two last names, which is a lot of fun when you're making airline reservations.
9Have you noticed how most directors are either bald or grey-haired?
10I started at the age of 8 and have been lucky to be still working.
11I think I would have a better time writing films rather than directing.
12I haven't gone to college yet and I intend to in a few years.
13It is tough to say what has influenced me the most because I know that Mozart makes me think better, but you cannot beat Dave Matthews for feeling good!
14And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.
15There is a healthy fraternal rivalry, but nothing serious and we both have been looking for a project to do together. I guess he may direct me in a project some day.
16When I am working it is up early and coffee and 15 hours of being on the set. When I am not working, it is up late and coffee, golf or softball and hopefully a ball game on the television.
17Guns are evil! And very little good comes from the availability of a bullet designed to kill human beings!
18There was a period when I became disillusioned with the politics of what goes on in show business. My mom had missed a lot of her childhood, so I figured it would be a good time to hang up my acting shoes . . . I was probably reading too much J.D. Salinger at the time.
