"I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good."

"I love to sing and I do think that my strength as a singer is... I think I have a voice that is certainly sufficient under most any circumstances... but I think my strength is that I really am an actor and I really do have to own what I am saying."
Love
"I learned to play guitar at a young age and converted poems and stuff that I had written to songs."
Age
"And that's the mistake that was made with Steel Pier. Roger was caught between a rock and hard place. It would have cost a couple of million dollars more to take it to Boston or someplace first. So we opened about a month too early."
Mistake
"It was the first time that I was on Broadway, and I got to run as fast as I could to keep up. And I loved it!"
Time
"Honestly, when I got to Hollywood I was trying to sell my songs."
Hollywood
"I have a big family and had to move them all from the coast of Oregon to New York three times for the workshops and for the actual production itself, which had about a four month development rehearsal schedule."
Family
"I have four kids; three girls and a boy. The oldest girl is 13, and has her own social life now, so there's a bit of begrudging cooperation there. It's tough."
Life
"I have to own something before I can say it, and I have to own it before I can sing it as well, emotionally. I only enjoy acting and singing if I am believing what I am doing."
Acting
"But we were doing plays and movies which I had nothing to do with other than being a producer, and I don't have that kind of interest or time any more."
Movies
"I didn't feel compromised as an actor, and allowed other people's fingerprints all over that aspect."
