I'm not really a pitcher; I just play one in the movies.

I owe the little formal education I got to my drama teacher, Mr. Pickett, who got us to read Shakespeare, Moliere, and other classics.

I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. I grew up in Houston. Gordo Cooper was my favorite astronaut.

My real-life athletic career was not very much. I played Little League baseball.

I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.

I've done so many movies that when I see them I don't really watch them.

You have to have the fire in your belly. I'm having more fun now with acting than I did when I first started out, because I'm doing it just because I really enjoy it. I'm not trying to "make it" anymore. I'm not trying to be anything, you know? The biggest this and that for anybody. I'm just enjoying it.
