A fancy watch, it's completely unnecessary. I just need a watch to tell the right time.

Voice-over stuff is so much fun because you don't have hair and makeup and wardrobe. You get to show up. And there were some talented people, and we don't even know them. And they're so gifted. They can do all these accents and voices. It's really fun to do that stuff. It's really like actor camp.

[St. Elmo's Fire] it was pretty soon after that. I know we didn't do Breakfast Club knowing we were going to do that.

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.

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.

[John] Hughes was well aware that to ignore the seriousness of young people is to encourage things like Columbine, so you might want to listen. And we were all pretty serious, a little bit, in high school. Some a little more than others.

Fandango is not really a Western. It's really just set in Texas. It's a road picture. And then I did one that hasn't come out yet called Kreep, which is set in Texas, but it's not really a Western. But it has a more rural-Texas feel to it.

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 went to acting school with Mario Van Peebles. For a little while, he was at the same school. So he asked me if I wanted to do [ New Jack City]. He said, There's not really a role. We'll figure something out. But would you like to? And I was like, Sure. 'Cause he said it was Chris Rock and Ice T's first movie.

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

I am very grateful to make my living doing what I would do for free.

Remember to be as smart as you are.

You have to be so confident and so gifted to fill five minutes of nothing at the very beginning of a play before even a word is uttered.

It's a profession where merit is not necessarily rewarded.

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

I like Chicago. It's a great city. It's always fun to revisit it.

[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.

My first love is acting on stage. A sitcom is a hybrid of stage and film.

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