There is no handbook about how a career is going to go.

I still like to listen to the people that I came of age on.

Being able to fantasize for a couple of days at being a rock singer surpassed most things I've done on stage.

Clint Eastwood is a very soft-spoken, humble guy, actually, which helped put somebody like me at ease, who had never worked with somebody as huge as that. I'm sure that's not always the case with legendary people.

The one nice thing about doing a character for a long time is, you begin to feel more comfortable, and you are thinking less and behaving more. It's always best not to be thinking a hell of a lot while you're acting, because you want it to be as spontaneous as possible, not too intellectual. Just behaving and listening to other people who you're doing scenes with. I always like the latter when it looks easy, even though it may not be.

You always know when something works it's a result of everything firing on all cylinders.

I was initially a leading man, but only on television.
