I think a lot of people thought my career started with Butch Cassidy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was younger I saw a movie called 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Those two actors and that movie was my inspiration to want to be an actor.
'Butch Cassidy' was the only film I ever enjoyed making.
Obviously, the person who had most influence on my career was Ken Thompson.
I knew Billy Wilder socially and would have loved to work with him.
My dad brought 'Clerks' to Sundance 22 years ago, and that's when his career started.
My influences were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry.
I came along and was a teenager in the Depression, and nobody had jobs. So I went out hitchhiking, when I met a man named Woody Guthrie. He was the single biggest part of my education.
Bobby Cox had the biggest influence in my career and probably the second- or third-biggest influence in my life.
I knew I was going to be famous later in life.
When I was 8, I thought I was Harrison Ford, Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Elvis, and Chuck Norris all at once.
