One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age.

You know, ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance.

Life is having its way with me now. And I'm really pleased.

Like most kids, you don't want to do what your folks want you to do. You've got your own thing.

I'm also working closely with a group called the Amazon Conservation Team, helping with the rainforest in South America.

If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you get the richness that's available in a long-term relationship.

Movies are very subjective.

Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.

I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.

I wish I were more disciplined.

I'm not locked into playing one guy.

I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.

I'm very much into the costuming of any character that I portray and it's one of the great things about making movies is it's a collaborative art form so you get all these artists who are looking specifically about for this instance your character's costume and what that might tell about your character.

I don't know how it is for women or for other guys, but when I was young and in my 20s, I had a fear of marriage.

Whenever I work on a part, I look at the world through the filter of the character and I pick things they might use through my observations of real life.

A large part of acting is just pretending. You get to work with these other great make-believers, all making believe as hard as they can.

What I learned most from my father wasn't anything he said; it was just the way he behaved. He loved his work so much that, whenever he came on set, he brought that with him, and other people rose to it.

For me, growing up, the downside of it was that as a kid you don't want to stand out. You don't want to have a famous father let alone get a job because of your famous father, you know? But I'm a product of nepotism. That's how I got my foot in the door, through my dad.

Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don't know if it's a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.

Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that.

Nowadays, in the contract that actors sign, you have to agree that you're going to do a certain amount of publicity-the hard part they don't pay you for.

I'm very manipulative towards directors. My theory is that everyone on the set is directing the film, we're all receiving art messages from the universe on how we should do the film.

As far as Beau is concerned, we're on the same team, we root for each other. If my parts are slightly more attractive, or are perceived that way by others, he's very content.

The problem with the designated driver programme, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At then end of the night drop them off at the wrong house.
