The Dain Curse [Tom Fink] was a great job. I was in New York, and I was young – I think I’m 28 years old in that – and I got to work with James Coburn and Jean Simmons and Jason Miller. Plus, it was a Dashiell Hammett story, and I had a great character. It was fantastic to shoot.

It was a fabulous experience shooting [in the Aviator], working with Leo [DiCaprio] and Danny Huston in the scene. It was great. I think what was most eye-opening about it was that [Martin] Scorsese was just like any good director you work with.

That’s what kids were like then. So I really like the movie [Dude, Where’s My Car? ], I think it’s genuinely funny, and I wish I hadn’t been so arrogant about it. And, of course, I didn’t know it was going to be my best work, either.

As it turns out, sometimes that bites you. In this case, I saw pictures of Earl [Mills], and…I actually met him. He was quite old at the time, but he had this sort of curly red hair, so we did that in the film. I got a perm and had red hair, and… It was a mess.

I didn’t really watch the show [Star Trek]. I still haven’t seen about 150 of them. So I didn’t really think of them too much in terms of episodes. I thought of them as kind of one long seven-year episode.
