Being a dad is the best thing that ever happened to me. It changed my life entirely.
Oh yeah, 'Starship Troopers' was one of the best experiences of my life, and I made some lifelong friends.
'Swingers' was a little closer to what my real experience was. 'Crazy Eyes,' whoever's experience that is, I'm telling you what, that was one heck of a ride.
I'm purely most happy on a film or television set. That's where I feel I am home.
I had my airplane, and I'd use it as a car whenever I could. If the drive was going to be longer than an hour, I was flying the plane instead. And in California, it's really easy to have a drive longer than an hour.

I had some downtime with my career and... I got complacent.
The first film I was in was called 'Straight Time.' I was five-years old, and I was playing my father's son.
Let's say you would see me in a lot more big movies had I done movies that I'd been asked to do playing bad guys. Now that I have a child on the way, I think that you'll probably be seeing me play more bad guys. If that's what's going to put bread on...
