Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.

It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.

Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.

I did a pilot for HBO, called One Percent, that they didn't end up picking up, but it was a pretty intense and dramatic piece.

I love not feeling this hydraulic pressure that you have to create this comic moment within every scene. You can just play it as it is.

Then I did The Tao of Steve and that was at Sundance in 2000 where it did really well.

There's a certain kind of existential freedom that comes to people who realize that all the things that they hold onto and that they think define them, once they're gone, there's this new freedom to determine the way you're going to live your life.

I'm a professional hanger outer. I'm a super liability, too. I joke around and I'm like a hyper-active child.

The desert feels Irish in a way - lonely and barren. If someone said, 'Think of a happy place for you,' I'd say a glacial plane near the South Pole, the wind howling, nobody in sight, a shack with a pot-belly stove and some tea.

It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.

It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.

Every once in awhile, when you can see shades of the person's real interior life, I think that's interesting.

I'd have to say my favorite thing about working on the show, and something that might be intriguing to other people, is that it's just such an amazingly welcoming environment to work in.

I have to say that it was a thrilling ride to be on 'Terriers.' It was this odd circumstance where it was really loved by the people it was loved by, but it didn't do well. In fairness to FX, they were just so generous in keeping it on the air the whole year.

I remember working on movies like Gettysburg and feeling that Jeff Daniels was kind of a mentor.

You can judge a country by the way it treats its prisoners, and you can always judge a show by the way it treats people coming on to do these guest shots.

This sounds so bogus, but I would love to, at some point when my kids are in college, is just go do a whole season at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and do a year of plays. Most actors miss the days of live theater.
