I'd love to be a pop idol. Of course, my groupies are now between 40 and 50.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

A good director creates an environment which gives the actor the encouragement to fly.

I have a natural swagger.

There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous and those who are liars.

Before Footloose, the things I'd done weren't cute. In Diner I was an alcoholic.

Theatre is a must for actors. They should try it at least once. It makes you disciplined, teaches you to respect your work, and boosts your confidence as an actor.

You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad, one often feels strangely restricted, not finding time to simmer, although one actually has many interests.

For me, each one of those experiences stands on its own. The first one was with Steven Spielberg, who helped me to get an agent and vouch for me, and that gave me the confidence to continue.

I made so many mistakes in my first successful business I'm almost embarrassed to recount them.
