I've always said that I'll know when I've gone too far because I won't be able to sit down and watch it with my father.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People have told me, 'My dad passed on, but I have great memories of watching your shows with him.' It doesn't get any better than that.
On my best days, such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double, my dad was there to tell me I haven't arrived yet and bring me back to reality.
My father seemed always to know not only what I was doing, but what I was being.
Through my films I'm eventually trying to one day tell the truth. I don't know if I'm ever going to get there, but I'm slowly letting pieces of myself out there and then maybe by the time I'm 85, I'll look back and say, 'All right, that about sums it up.'
My dad just imprinted in my mind from a very young age that you always do what you say you're gonna do when you say you're gonna do it.
I am a father, I am very aware of the things that I'm putting out in the world knowing that one day my children will watch the work that I've done. I want to be able to stand by it.
Sometimes I know what my characters are moving away from or toward; more often I just wait and see. For instance, though I knew Sinkler in 'The Trusty' was going for water, I did not know that he would meet a fetching young farm wife until I got him into her front yard.
When you sit down and watch something alone, you're going to watch it for what it is.
When I started as a child actor, my father didn't tell me anything.
My dad would always tell me, 'When you meet a man, look him in his eye and shake his hand,' and that's just something I've been doing for a long time.
