00:00The only reason I'm not directing, which I love doing, is because I have two nine-year-old kids.
00:04And in order for me to spend time with them, I can't, you know, if I act in a movie,
00:12it's three months, and I can go and come and go and come back.
00:16When you direct a movie, it's a year, wherever you are, and there's no traveling back and forth.
00:21So I can't do that anymore.
00:23The last thing I did was this play last year on Broadway, and that took us all away for a
00:31period of time.
00:31And I can't really pull the kids out of school anymore, so I'm really happy doing this.
00:37It's fun to be an actor again.
00:39I'm enjoying it, actually, so it's fun.
