I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it. But you look at the project and think 'Gee there are a lot of good directors who could do that.' I'd like to do something only I can do.

I don't know why but I've always been a sucker for roller coasters in movies.

I'm not an especially highbrow person but I have always loved small quirky edgy movies.

Even when I was a little kid I always said I would be in the movies one day and damned if I didn't make it.

I grew up watching all these crazy movies European movies and stuff and I guess that I always laughed at things that were a little more offbeat.

When I was a little boy I used to borrow my father's hat and make a press card to stick in the hat band. That was the way reporters were always portrayed in the movies.

My wife comes with me on all the movies but she is not an appendage to a film star or anything like that. She is a completely intertwined partner. She is the other half of me. Also we're still very much in love with each other. We always have been we always will be.

I was always raised on cowboy films and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.

When I was a boy I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream.

I've always been an animal lover. I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I think that is what helped me get the role on 'Lassie' I was comfortable around the dog where many of the kids were afraid or intimidated by Lassie.
