“By a Carpenter mankind was made, and only by that Carpenter can mankin...” — Desiderius Erasmus Quote

By a Carpenter mankind was made, and only by that Carpenter can mankind be remade.

Reflection is a flower of the mind, giving out wholesome fragrance; but revelry is the same flower, when rank and running to seed.

Concealed talent brings no reputation.

Your library is your paradise.

It is the chiefest point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is.

You find a movie you love and you figure out who directed it, then you go to the video store and go through all the John Carpenter stuff and all the Sam Raimi stuff.

Whatever it is, if you draw, you paint, you're a carpenter, you play football, the more you do it, you're a journalist, the more stories you write, the more people you interview and navigate your way through these different personalities to get your story, the better you're going to get at it. Acting's no different.

I was offered a series by John Carpenter after I did the movie 'Christine,' and I would've been a leading man after that. I would have played a private investigator. And I was offered a great deal - I would be involved in the direction, casting, everything, and whatever. It was whatever an actor wants, and I didn't take it.

My dad's an amazing carpenter and he does painting and decorating.
