I really started trying to get my act together in August of 2002.

I hope that people like us next year like they liked us last year.

I'd like to just work - steadily work - and do parts that I enjoy doing.

I like the Wu Tang Clan a lot.

But the drugs are kind of like taboo, at least among me and my friends and the people I've worked with.

I definitely don't want to achieve some kind of rock star status.

Tony Kaye is great with that kind of stuff. Up until American History X, he had only done commercials.

My father went to college for drama in Pittsburgh, and so did my mother, and then my mother was a steadily working New York theater actress. They kind of quit when I was born. They did that for, like, 10 years before they had kids and then I was born and they were not into that lifestyle for kids.
