Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Fred: I love working with young actors. I just think there's no other actor that brings such a freshness and a unique approach to work than young actors.
-
Fred: (on making "Daddy Day Camp") It was great making a movie that to me, at the core, is about fathers and sons, and what a dad will do to forge a better relationship with his son," he said. "And thematically, to be making that movie as I was forging my relationship with my son-it was a great parallel.
-
Fred: Acting to a large extent is really kind of a solitary pursuit-you go home and learn your lines, and then you go to work and sit in your dressing room until they call you to shoot, and you go shoot, and then you go back to your dressing room.
-
Fred: I like comedies that have a nice emotional heart to them, in a story that serves as a foundation. I just hope I keep doing good work and, hopefully, I can cross some genres, along the way.
-
Fred: (on working with kids on "Daddy Day Camp") I tried to take the best of what I liked about working with directors when I was a kid, and tried to eliminate all the stuff I hated. I've let that guide me, in working with all actors, in my directing career.
-
Fred: Having kids slows everything down. We used to be able to just pick up and go, now it's a chore just to get the groceries! If you forget one little binky, that is exactly what they will need the whole time you are out!
-
Fred: My family teases my wife and I all the time, we are the real life Kevin and Winnie. Jennifer and I grew up next door to each other, and were childhood sweethearts as well.
-
Fred: I took a big chance playing an abusive boyfriend to Candace Cameron. I wanted to step outside of Kevin Arnold, and she wanted to step outside of her Full House persona of DJ. For awhile, my younger fans seemed very disappointed in me, they couldn't differentiate the character from the actor.
-
Fred: I was so embarrassed, getting my first kiss on a stage, with an audience, and my mom watching in the wings. NOT the way I imagined things going.
