I wasn't Santa in Santa Jr., but I was Santa in Cancel Christmas.

[John] Hughes really wanted it to sound authentic. He was a real collaborator. He encouraged us to bring to the material things we thought were maybe more truthful.

My closest friend is canine. I have precious few close friends, and most of them are not actors

You just have to learn certain technical things, like where the camera is, not to block people's light in your own, to hit your marks, and that you do it kind of piecemeal.

Adam Sandler is a really funny guy in real life. Separate from all of the movies, that is a funny man.

Image
You can do crap work in a big movie, and it does good things. You can do great work in a movie no one sees, it does nothing. That's the way it goes.

Stagecoach is really my first Western-Western, the whole horses and gunplay. It was really fun. We shot it fast, too. We got lucky with the weather. If it rained, I don't know if we would have been able to finish it. We had like 12 shooting days for the whole thing.

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.

Death is not my best subject.

I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.

[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.

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.

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

As a kid, I had a crush on Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.

I wanted to meet Orson Welles. So I was like, whatever, somehow get me in on this. I'm able to get cast in it, but Orson Welles worked alone. He worked before all of us worked. He didn't want to work with anyone else.

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

The movie that's had the most effect on me is Jaws. To this day when I'm in the ocean, I'm hearing that music.

[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.
