Quote:"When I realized I couldn't play football, I was pretty lost. I needed something I could be good at. I wasn't even thinking about making a living; it was about survival. I was becoming an adult and...didn't have a way in. I needed to feel I belonged in the world...[Acting] was the closest thing I could think of to scoring a touchdown!...It was physical...required great concentration and meant working with others in public. It was challenging, like sports. What was new was the creative and emotional side, because that hadn't been part of my life before...I wasn't thinking about making money. I was concentrating on what I would become, an actor--and I just got lost in it." --Parade magazine, June 21, 1998
