As Americans, we're raised with this idea of, 'We're number one.' As an individual, you absorb and you consume until you skyrocket to the top with your money and your whatever.

Maybe it's my freak flag that, when I go to a haunted mansion, I would rather blend in with them and be part of the story rather than have someone jump out at me. To be part of the fantasy seems way more interesting to me, to embed myself in there and just drop in, in that way.

As far as creating my own theme park, it would probably just have to do with things I like, like my dog and other people's dogs, and lots of dogs and cats.

We all don't feel like a million bucks, even if you're an actor. You just don't; not all of us feel like movie stars.

I conduct myself as if I am a spaceman in Hollywood. I don't want to do anything fancy. I don't want people to send me free clothes. I just want to be grateful for this craft they let me do.
