I'm More Cerebral Than I Want To

[ The Finest Hours] Reminded Me A Lot Of A Film I Did Called Unstoppable In That You Have A Driving Thriller Aspect Of The Film And It's Not All That Complicated Of A Story And There's A Simple Elegance To It. I Liked That. It Is Also Driven By A Really Strong Romance And Ordinary Men Doing Extraordinary Things. I Love That.

We Tell Each Other Stories So We Can Understand The World Better And There's Catharsis And We Understand The Models Of What A Hero Could Be And What The Hero's Journey As A Human Being Is All About. But Unfortunately, I Think Sometimes Those Stories Too Can Be Very Prohibitive And Confining.

Theater Will Always Be A Huge Part Of My Life. The High I Get From Doing Theater Is Not, Quite Honestly, Matched By Many Things. I Like The Fact That When You Step Out On The Stage, For That Given Night, For Better Or For Worse, You Are The Master Of The Boards. I Love It To Death.

It's Not Always The Case That Things Will Fall Into Your Lap Or That Life Will Be Great, But It's All About Perspective And Having A Positive Outlook. If Something Goes Wrong You Say: "that Happened For A Reason, What Can I Learn From That And How Can I Grow?"
