I've always enjoyed making up stories, especially when I was bored and just sitting around. It got really serious after the children came along.

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

I can make up stories with the best of them. I've been telling stories since I was a little kid.

My thing is, I like playing guys who have a really interesting internal monologue.

He tells you stories, but then, after a while, when you want more, he doesn't give you more. He insists on this old elaboration, the old stories that never changes.

I go out and look for a good story to tell and if I like it enough and I decide to direct it, I become dangerously involved in becoming a part of that story.

I show them the funny part, the silly part, the laughing part, the crazy part and then the really deep, deep part where I'm talking from my heart to these people. Because I've been through everything they've been through.

When guys do books or stories, all I like to see is the truth.

My husband jokes that I'll invite people over for dinner and he won't know who they are or where I met them. But in my work world, I've never really been tempted to tell too much of my story.

I try to tell the story, always. I do not want to be part of it.
