It is the heart that makes the critic, not the nose.
I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.
I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.
I have all this time between projects, and I'm not so sure that's a healthy thing. It's scary, because at 36 I'm woefully unqualified for anything else.
I don't find movies interesting. I just want to do the movies that made me interested in getting into movies, and they're few and far between.
You can take a handful of dollars, a good story, and people with passion and make a movie that will stand up against any $70 million movie.
I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If Id wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasnt worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.

Until our mission becomes our obsession, we'll be chained to the realm of average.
I can't even tell you how many different shows I would love to guest star on because there's just too many.
What if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights, are Your mercies in disguise?
