I'm involved with Recording Artists and Actors Against Drunk Driving. I'm also involved with most children's causes, because children can't help the environment they're in.

It's strange, 'cause a play, you start at the beginning and you go all the way through to the end. So it's naturally very well rehearsed and you get a rhythm and a flow. In film, you can shoot the ending before the beginning. It's very odd. And it's like a craft you have to learn.

I have adopted clothes from all the projects I'm in. It's really been a while since I've bought anything myself.

Trace Adkins doesn't talk too much, but when he does he's got great stories. He's lived a great life.

The first animation thing I did was the first Transformers, the one that was animated many years ago. And I had heard that Orson Welles was doing a voice on it.

While they would have provided financial support if I had needed it, the greatest support my parents gave was emotional, psychological.

Breakfast Club was great because we had a real rehearsal, and we shot primarily in sequence.

You have to kind of roll with the punches. That's why I think work begets work to a certain degree. I just try and keep busy.

[John] Hughes was open to that [rehearsal]. This can only happen if the director and/or the writer are open to that.

[John] Hughes is a great loss, I think. He was the first filmmaker that could look at someone who was young without seeing them as being less.
