I directed a movie back in the '90s which had calf roping in it, and I got into it quite a bit back then.

I was a guy back in the Eighties who was one movie away from a huge career, which at that time didn't happen. In the Nineties, I worked a lot, but it was kind of, 'Get out there and dig and find things.' Then I guess 'The Rookie' and 'Far From Heaven' were referred to as my comeback.

When I get a script, it's the only time that I get to be an audience member with the first-time experience of that movie. That's the first and only time.

I was a really avid bowler when I was a teenager. I had about a 210-220 average. I had blisters on my fingers.

I owe the little formal education I got to my drama teacher, Mr. Pickett, who got us to read Shakespeare, Moliere, and other classics.

One thing I've really never had a problem with was memorizing lines. Most of the time I don't memorize the lines until we're on the set shooting the scene.
