I talk about this a lot when people ask me about my favorite films and things, and I try to be as honest as possible, but it is The Goonies (1985). I did watch The Goonies (1985) a lot.
[Talking about Andrew McCarthy and why he inspired him to be an actor] Yeah, St. Elmo`s Fire (1985) is probably the one that I love him in the most. He was really vulnerable, really open, I think. And he had floppy hair, kind of bad hair, and I had really bad hair for quite a long time when I was a kid.
We`re in a horrible, repugnant place now where kids are told it`s their right and due to be hugely famous. Not good at their job, not good at anything, just hugely famous. This is not sane. Little girls think they`ll be famous if they have vast breast implants and might as well die if they don`t.
Where it gets difficult is when you get two or three jobs back to back where you`re playing leads and doing 13, 14 hours a day, six days a week, and you suddenly think, hang on a minute, how can you have a life like this? Do I work to live or live to work? How can I work properly with no life to inform the work?
It`s really questioning where humanity is going, and is there a place for the way we perceive things now? Does that have to remain the same? Is anything constant? The world is constantly evolving, as is humanity. It`s really about evolution and taking charge of humanity`s next step.
