I Can't Help But Be A Little

I Went From Doing Something That Was Very Original, Sort Of Subversive, And Specific In Its Voice - The Grinder - And Loved Every Minute Of It, But Having Done That, I Was Anxious To Do Something That Had More Broad Appeal And To Embrace The Good Things About That.

It Was A Little Company That Released [bad Influence], It Was Really Ahead Of Its Time... I'm Really Proud Of It. And It's Curtis Hanson. He'd Directed A Small Movie Before That, But It Was His First Directorial Work That Really Worked.

Your Interests Change. I Used To Feel That If I Spent Evenings Reading, Or Watching A Film, Or Just Doing Nothing Up Here At The House, I Would Probably Be Missing Something That Was A Lot More Fun. I Don't Have That Sense Anymore.

I Think [the Outsiders] Really Forged Who I Am As An Actor, And It's One Of The Reasons Why I Keep Being Drawn To Big Ensembles Where I'm Surrounded By Strong, Successful Actors Or Personalities. Because That Was My Initial Foray Into Movie Making.

I Was Sick Of Playing High-school Kids. I Liked Being A Teenager, But I Would Not Go Back For All The Tea In China.
