You know, every movie you make can't be great, no matter who you are.

What people don't always understand is that I established a certain lifestyle for my family back in the days of 'Species' and 'Mulholland Falls' and 'The Getaway.' I wasn't about to move my six kids into a trailer park. So when people offered me work, it wasn't always the best, but I had to buy groceries, and I had to put gas in the car.

People have been afraid of me because of the parts I played. Nobody remembers that I was the dad in 'Free Willy.'
