Nick: (on acting) It's freeing, like being a kid again!

Nick: (about working on the movie "Tin Cup") Kevin Costner was very cool, and took me under his wing. I was green as far as working in film goes. I had just done some short films. The one scene I was in took us all week to shoot. I was one of the guys sitting at a bar, discussing the odds on a bet that Kevin Costner and Don Johnson were about to make. It was a really small part, just a few lines. In the final edit, all my lines were cut except for one. But it wasn't about the money I made or how much screen time I got; it was the experience. It was my first big-deal movie. The director, Ron Shelton, was great to me. It was all really exciting.

Nick: (on working on soaps) I don't know if soaps are necessarily harder or easier, really. They're harder in that their time restraints make it difficult, and the material is more difficult, a certain amount of reality... so it's challenging, especially if you're not used to working in those restraints.
