The difference between my generation of actors and their generation is that they were bigger than life. We are not bigger than life

In all American professional sports you start on a certain level and you have to work your way up through a farm system. It's really the same in acting.

Since I've started to star in pictures I have always managed to retain my singularity of purpose when I got into the business, which was to be an artist, as an actor, more than anything else. But to get the certain kind of role you want, you have to be in a certain position in the business and it's dog-eat-dog and it gets very hairy and you can lose your point of view sometimes.

Sports betting is all about money management, so the most money won on one event is not the most important thing

I'm not a good reader. I had to take remedial reading in school. I was a slow reader and therefore it's tough for me to stay interested in things long enough, I've read, probably, since college maybe 10 books, which is disgusting.

If you are willing to expose your heart...being publicly private, you just may do something.

I'm totally sports-oriented; I relate a lot of my career and everything to sports.
