I Have A Career I Am Proud

I've Found Joy, Peace And Perspective. Those Are Very Good Things To Have.

I Worked With Creative People Who Were Very Demanding Of Me, And They Helped Me Reach Performances That I Never Could Have Gotten On My Own Without Being Pushed And Having Trust In Them. And So I Know The Best Way To Get The Best Performance Of An Actor, And That's Not To Coddle Them Or To Baby Them. It's To Help Them; It's To Push Them.

I Have A Real Eclectic Taste For Work, For Movies, For Characters And Jobs.

As A Young Actor, There's A Very Small Group Of Kids, Just A Handful. As You Get Older, All Of A Sudden, There's A Bunch Of Guys Your Age That Work. It's A Very Different Experience When You Used To Be On The Short List Because You Were Young And There's Only So Many Kids That Can Do The Work And Then All Of A Sudden You're In Your Twenties And Thirties And There's A Whole Bunch Of Guys That Can Do Your Work.

I Asked Michael Jackson Once. I Said To Him, 'how Were You Able To Go From The Jackson Five To The Biggest Star In The World? What Was Your Secret, Michael?' He Said, 'ricky, Stay Inspired. That's The Hardest Thing To Do. If You Can Figure Out A Way To Stay Inspired, You Can Make It.'
