I Did A Lot Of

I Worked With Creative People Who Were Very Demanding Of Me, And They Helped Me Reach Performances That I Never Could Have Gotten On My Own Without Being Pushed And Having Trust In Them. And So I Know The Best Way To Get The Best Performance Of An Actor, And That's Not To Coddle Them Or To Baby Them. It's To Help Them; It's To Push Them.

I Always Had A Separate Life Than Just My Work. I Built My Own Family. I Have My Own Hobbies And Interests. I Have A Ranch With Livestock And Horses. I Didn't Always Get My Self-esteem And Identity From Acting. I Never Worked Unless I Wanted To. I Never Did Anything Just To Do It, Just For The Paycheck. I Always Did Things That I Liked.

There Have Been Times I Almost Got A Persecution Complex. I Felt Like People Wouldn't Let Me Grow Up. They Always Saw Me As A Smiling Kid Or Goofy Teenager, No Matter How Much I'd Changed.

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.

A Horrible Script 99 Percent Of The Time Means A Horrible Movie. But If You Start With A Good Script, Odds Are You're Going To Have A Good Movie.
