"I'm sure if I had management, they would hate me because I just give away stickers and things," he added with a laugh."I'm like, well, let's just give them some more stuff."
"As I'm getting older, you start to care less about yourself and more about other people," he mused."I think it's just an evolutionary process. It was important to me to give back." The"E.T." veteran reiterated that the mission is to"help somebody have a good time wearing these masks or help somebody just kind of get through what we're all dealing with."And the response so far, he revealed, has been"fantastic" -- especially as a new fan base pops up whenever they discover the S.E. Hinton source material.
"What happens is every year a new batch of seventh and eighth graders read 'The Outsiders.' It's basically required reading in 75% of the schools across America. And the level it affects them is deep." "Every year I'm greeted with some sobbing 13 year olds over Pony Boy or Johnny dying," he explained, before joking,"Then they cry even harder when they realize I'm 53."
