Everybody can't be like Redford and pop out there and make big bucks right away because you look like a Greek god... The guy's a friend of mine and he has absolutely no privacy in his life.

Track and field has always interested me.

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

I always made a living as an actor when I came to California. I never had to do anything else.

The big reason why I became an actor in the first place was to communicate. I never acted in high school...I was desperate to communicate.

When I was starting to get noticed as an actor in the 1970s for something other than the third cowboy on the right who ended up dying in every movie or episode, Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in the world.

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