- "Forget all the bars and schmoozing and everybody checking out everybody else. My ideal date would be to park in a dark place, check out the stars, and have a great conversation.

I'm waiting for a role where I can put my heart and soul into it and deliver a line like Meg Ryan did in Top Gun: 'Take me to bed or lose me forever."
