1991: It's really delightful when you make a movie that comes out in February and you can still find it the newspaper in June. It was also a time in movie history, when, if a film opened to fourteen million dollars you felt like the king of the world as opposed to a leper.

I got to know Ted Demme before he went to work at MTV. We had a lot of fun together and Ted gave me a small acting part in a movie he did called The Ref (1994)... He was a force. A guy that spread sunshine where ever he went and he was this amazing filmmaker... So it was very tragic...

I was fortunate right from the beginning of my career because Jonathan Demme was this great mentor, a partner and an example. He was a person of wide range and enthusiasms and a guy with a great deal of emotional intelligence.
