As A Kid, I Had A Crush

I Would Go To Trials A Lot In Boston, As Best I Could. And It's Incredible That, Like, Lawyers That Had A Good Case Weren't Dramatic At All. Lawyers That Had A Horrible Case Would Sing And Dance And Do Whatever It Took To Convince The Jury Or The Judge That This Guy Was Innocent. So That Was A Cool Thing To See Because That Made Me Believe That What The Script [of From The Hip] Was Doing Was Totally Believable. Now, Maybe Not Ordinary. But It Could Happen.

Breakfast Club Was Great Because We Had A Real Rehearsal, And We Shot Primarily In Sequence. I Thought That Was Going To Be How Movies Were Done. I Didn't Really Know How Lucky We All Were. We Had A Director That Liked Actors. I Didn't Know That Was Going To Be Rare.

I Was Just In A Few Episodes The First Season [ Of Empire]. They Didn't Kill Me, But I Haven't Been Back In Season Two Or Three. I Don't Know If They Have Plans For Me Or Not. But I Enjoyed Working On It. And I Think It's A Really Talented Group Of Actors And, Boy, Very Enterprising To Try And Shoot Those Every Week, You Know, With Musical Numbers And All That Stuff.

Almost Anything Makes Me Laugh, Especially Jokes At My Own Expense. And I Will Never, Ever Admit To Being Ticklish Anywhere.

Paul Gleason Played The Teacher. I Just Tortured Him As Best I Could. 'cause He Wasn't One Of The Kids, You Know, So It Was Okay. He Was Great.
