My grandfather taught me generosity. He sold snow cones in Harlem. I went with him at 5 and he let me hand out the change and snow cones. I learned a lot in the couple of years that we did that.

I do get a lot of mail. I get a lot of foreign mail because my mail gets mixed with Emilio Estevez.

Respect other people regardless of the level they are at... or the level you are at. When you hand out respect, you get it back.

I had a major motorcycle accident on CHIPs that gave me a 50-50 chance to live. I broke a lot of bones and fractured ribs and broken wrists.

I really love the karate thing I did on CHIPs. I studied with a trainer because I knew we'd do episodes that had karate.

An hour of my time is a tiny price to pay for all the support I've gotten from my fans.

Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in America” is a brilliant movie. It’s about four hours long, but it’s so well done.
