Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it's not all that important to me anymore.

It's as predictable as the sun rising in the morning. Every time Barack Obama's poll numbers rise you can be certain he's done something else to weaken the country. He's empowered a base that loathes American excellence.

I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.

There are three things being a celebrity is good for: raising money for charity, dinner reservations and tee times.

I love doing independent films, but it's very hard to make a living that way.

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

I grew up in Houston, and I remember we had separate drinking fountains, and black people sat in the balcony of the theater... We had an African-American housekeeper growing up who was really like my second mother. I thought it was silly - hatred just because of the color of somebody's skin.
