On land, you can walk away from people, from unpleasant situations. But when you’re on a ship for 14 months with 49 other people, if you don’t resolve your issues it literally could mean – and this would be an extreme circumstance – the sinking of the ship.

My favorite board game is a board game I’m working on right now. It’s a game of Napoleonic era naval warfare, and it’s going to be fun.

I pretend I’m the producer and I think, “If I was making this movie, would I cast myself in this part?,” and if that doesn’t feel right to me, then I don’t even go audition for it.

I think it would be lovely to see some features on a disc of ‘The Rocketeer,’ with some reminiscing. I think that would be dynamite.

I don’t have any complex plans for playing a character. I think all I try to do is not make too many bad guy faces and not ever try to seem too good. I just try to put it in the middle somewhere.

I don’t have time to overthink things, and I don’t have time to get bogged down in stuff. I’m not sitting there thinking for a week and a half, before I’m supposed to go in front of a network president to do something. That just gives you time to be nervous.
