You get a script and you love it. You find a director that you trust, and it becomes all about how do I commit to this as fully as possible? And the last thing you can afford to have in your mind is what are other people going to think of this?

I've always been a clown trapped in a leading man's body.

I was dyslexic, so math and formulas were not necessarily my strong suit.

I've been through quite a few hurricanes. I worked in North Carolina, where there's a housing development whose name was Landfall.

Don't ever put anything past kids. They will surprise you in the best ways.
