I Was 12 When My Parents Told

I Went Door-to-door Selling Cable Television Subscriptions When I Was In College. I Found It Incredibly Difficult, Doing That Kind Of Sales Work. I Would Have Thought I'd Be Good At It, But I Wasn't. It's So Easy In Acting. Everything Falls Into Place When They Write That You're A Salesman. People Just Say Yes, And Then It's Great.

There Is A Gambling Element To Being Somebody Who Is Going To Take On The Job Of Constantly Trying To Represent And Prop Up People Who Might Be Somewhat Shady. That Notion Is Probably Part Of How They Got The Rap. But, I Have To Find The Balance Of Being Colorful, Being At Times Despicable, And Also Being Somebody Who Does Believe In Something.

Sometimes I Look Back And Think, 'good. I'd Love To Go In And Bang Out A Good Episode Of 'talk Soup' Today.'

I'm Very Leery Of Show Business, Having Been In Los Angeles For The Last 10 Years. Buzz Is A Dangerous Thing That I've Heard Applied To A Lot Of People That I've Since Not Heard Of Again.

I Had Interest In Acting. I Started As A Drama Major In College. I Got To School And Said, "what Am I Going To Do With This?" But I Didn't Know Anybody In The Business, And It Seemed Like - I Don't Know. I Had A Teacher Who Said "less Than 1 Percent Of You Will Ever Make A Living Being An Actor." That Was How We Opened The Semester.
