I want to direct, I want to be part of something creative, something with quality. My biggest fear as an actor is being involved in something mediocre, or being mediocre myself. Ive taken classes on screen-writing and, of course, I read a lot of scripts. Writing is what Id really like to move towards. Right now, though, it just doesnt pay the mortgage.
Teen magazines keep writing that my eyes twinkle when I talk. Look, Im a guy. I dont twinkle, you know! You can say that my eyes sparkle maybe, but not twinkle, alright? Got that, teen magazine writers?!
[speaking in 1994] I want to be remembered as an actor who put in some good work in the beginning of his career, even better work at the end of his career and slowly, successfully made the transition into writing and directing.
