Trust

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.

Respect

I don't wilt easily and a director can't either. He's the captain of the ship and he's got to be in total control. He also has to have respect for the people he's working for. From being an actor and being on a set my whole life I'm very comfortable there. And I'm not afraid.

Morning

I don't have an iPod. I mean I have a couple. Doesn't everyone? But I don't use it. I need to because I go to the gym now and I'm tired of listening to morning radio. I want some music! I do have a video iPod but I don't use it either.

Marriage

There are going to be peaks and valleys in everything – in your marriage in your job in your life. So just enjoy the peaks and ride out the valleys. Just try not to do anything too rash.

Funny

I feel cheesy when I see 'Silver Spoons.' Some of it was funny but some of it was just cheese! My kids love it but I look at it and cringe.

Finance

If the Indian people want stories written about themselves how they want them told they are going to have to make them they're going to have to finance them. If you let Hollywood do it Hollywood is going to get it wrong most of the time.

Dreams

My career was full of struggles and dreams disappointments and peaks and valleys. But there was no Twitter no Facebook or TMZ. Young actors could make mistakes and not become the focus of tabloids.

Cool

I have been a huge nerd to my kids. I haven't done the cool movies that they like. With '24' I gained a lot of respect. '24' is now it's hip it's their generation.
