Pretty Woman was the easiest job I’ve ever done. I just wore the right toupee.

I really love the karate thing I did on CHIPs. I studied with a trainer because I knew we’d do episodes that had karate.

I did this film for less money than it costs to stay in this hotel. We shot it in 20 days. We couldn’t screw up takes for fun because we didn’t have enough film.

Maybe It’s not the biggest blockbuster film, but there will be some people that will see it, that will be debating it, that will be questioning their own sense of spirituality. If the film resonates,...
