While I filmed the 'Walker, Texas Ranger' series for eight and a half years, I had never had much time to read, except for screenplays of the episodes.

I've always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish.

A lot of times people look at the negative side of what they feel they can't do. I always look on the positive side of what I can do.

Run while you still have the chance.

Focus on what it is that you want, set a realistic goal. Start setting goals that you feel you can accomplish. Don't try to go right to the top in one leap. Every time you accomplish a goal you develop the strength and wisdom to accomplish the next one.

I don't initiate violence, I retaliate.

If some thug breaks into my home I can use my roundhouse kick, but I prefer he look down the barrel of my gun.
