Movies were a struggle for me - they didn't come easy.
I'm kind of like the goofy number-seven guy in a lot of movies.
Life is short. I'm 47 years old. I've got 10 years to go where I can be the best I can be. I want those 10 years to be precious, not like before, cranking two or three movies a year. I've made a ton o...
