It was cool because it was a little insight into my character, but they cut it.”

And I laid that out to Steven Spielberg and he gave me this opportunity and I would love to be able to give that opportunity to some little kid who’s playing with dinosaur toys in a sandbox right now. And he or she has a vision and I want to hear it.”
