I was never really comfortable doing comedy.

I didn’t take the reins of my career until I was about 21, and I’ve been in charge since then.

There’s some things that you’re passionate about as a director. You just know it has to be a certain way. The challenge is resolving those so everyone is happy and no one feels that they have not been heard.

I’m very loving and supporting of my actors. I also expect them to show up prepared, happy to be there, and give their all as I do as an actor.

I love being on set, because I’ve basically grown up on a set. And now I love to contribute as a director and help steer the ship, if you will.

I’m really into sci-fi. The reason I’m an actor is because of ‘Star Wars’ – I saw that and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. But most of the projects I’m offered as an actor are straightforward dramas, so I haven’t really been given a chance to do that kind of role.

I didn’t grow up around wild horses, no. But I’ve appreciated their beauty and their power ever since I can remember.

I have been a huge nerd to my kids. I haven’t done the cool movies that they like. With ‘24,’ I gained a lot of respect. ‘24’ is now, it’s hip, it’s their generation.

I’ve found joy, peace and perspective. Those are very good things to have.

My sympathies go out to the young performers today because they are under a microscope in a way I wasn’t. Now everybody’s got a camera phone and can record at will or take pictures of you. It’s just a different world. I don’t know how I would have fared back then.
