My dad used to say, You have to become part of the machine to beat the machine, and there is some validity in it. But honestly, even when I am inside the machine, you still see me. I stick out a little bit.

Your kids can say some cruel things to you at times. For example, Nicole, Miles and Sofie are standing there in the room and I am dressed to kill in my own mind. They will say to me, Dad, you are not going out there looking like that are you? If that Does not kill a star, I do not know what does!

Keep in my mind my dad did not become a huge, huge mega actor until I was halfway through high school - so right around the time he is going through his big renaissance is right when I am starting to do my high school revolting.

My dad has always been extremely supportive in every decision I have made and much more interested in me picking what I wanted to do.

I knew that I needed to do something that I desperately loved. There was a period where I did question if it was acting because I knew that I would be making things hard on myself. I knew that there was going to be a little bit of a hullabaloo because of my dad being who he is and all that.

This is like my dad's race team where we had one Legend car. If we wrecked it, we couldn't race the next week unless we had enough parts to put it back together again.

Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they are completely dependent on you and there is a third generation. It is a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents.

I was just a kid and I did not have a dad. That is hard, because when you are a kid, you blame yourself for everything. And I blamed myself for him not being around, for my parents not being together.

My dad was great. He was very droll, very dry.

A lot of times I would go into a room and audition for whatever sitcom it was and they would expect me to do sort of what my dad was doing and I am not him so they would be disappointed and I would feel nervous and not know exactly how to do it.

Even if I tried to be my dad, it would be a mediocre, slightly embarrassing version.
