The ones that work out really and ones that become something to the audience, those are the most important people.

Well I loved Little League; so all the memories are pretty fond but I broke my thumb. That wasn't a lot of fun. I think probably the first time I pitched [I started out as a first baseman] and the first game I pitched in Little League, I struck out 10 batters. I had a curve ball a little early [laughs]. You're not really supposed to have one when you're 12, but I did, so I first game I struck out 10 batters. That's possibly my fondest memory.

These days and times you can't do eclectic records. In the '60s you could, but not anymore.

After you've done 60-something movies, you're always looking for something different.

People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.

As most characters are that I play, there's a lot of me in it, anyway.

If you love somebody let them know every day.
