I'm not like one of those actors who's a frustrated director.

I study to learn, to be an educated person.

The actors I was most impressed with and who were influencing my taste were all movie actors, so I always wanted to do movies but I didnt want to go to Hollywood and become a waiter in the meantime. The chances are really slim that an actor will be discovered in Hollywood. ... Ive never had to compromise myself for a job, ever.

Careers, like rockets, don't always take off on schedule. The key is to keep working the engines.

Wherever I go for the military, they always call me Lt. Dan. They just can't help it.

While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation's defenders, we can always do a little more.

Sometimes you're in great demand. Then suddenly your career hits the breaks.
