Children recognize me from Free Willy (1993), and their parents recognize me from Reservoir Dogs (1992). The kids are, like, There's Glen! and the parents are, like, Don't go near that guy!

I don't think I'm predominantly thought of as being a comedic actor.

You know, every movie you make can't be great, no matter who you are.

You kids shouldn't play so rough . . . somebody's gonna start crying.

Kids are a great excuse for you to stop acting like one.

Is it really selling out if it feeds your family?

My career has been very strange. My career is like a heart monitor. I get involved in a good project now and then to keep things going. And then I make things that I work on that I hope are going to be good so I can make a living and keep a roof over the heads of those little monsters I have in my house.

I've learned my lesson over the years about what to say and what not to say in interviews, that's for sure.

When you play a character that's someone real, when you're playing a true story, it's really great, 'cause you're not pretending to make up some silly thing.

Well, one thing for sure, I won't be remembered for 'Free Willy.' Or maybe I will.

Encourage your kids' artistic side. Toughen up everything else.

I probably made a few pictures I shouldn't have done, but I have four sons and I have to pay the rent. If you have a decision to make about whether or not you can buy groceries at the market or whether or not you're going to make a bad movie, you're going to make a bad movie.
