Fandango Is Not Really A Western. It's

It's More Like The Inner Workings Of John Bender. He Feels Like He's Been Given A Short Shrift, He's Not Been Provided The Opportunities That Maybe These Other Kids Have. So He Feels Like He Begins In A Hole. And Instead Of Trying To Raise Himself Up, He Wants To Bring All Of Them Down. That's A Dynamic That's Pretty Universal. And So That Was The Real Foothold On That. It Wasn't Like, "oh, My High School Experience Is Like John Bender's [in St. Elmo's Fire]."

My First Love Is Acting On Stage. A Sitcom Is A Hybrid Of Stage And Film.

The Movie That's Had The Most Effect On Me Is Jaws. To This Day When I'm In The Ocean, I'm Hearing That Music.

I Don't Know If It Matters What Country You're From, Size Of The City You're From, Urban Or Rural, There Are People That Are Hurting Each Other Everywhere.

I Like Chicago. It's A Great City. It's Always Fun To Revisit It.
