One works in this business - if one works. You do different types of movies.

John Milius and Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone - those guys are consummate filmmakers. They believe that you don't talk it, you show it. So when I find a role now, I try to find a visual way to tell what the character is about rather than trying to speak about it.

While I put forth the suntan and the teeth and the cavalier attitude, I've survived under the worst of eras and times, and I've always had a good time doing it, because I never really took myself seriously, nor did I take life seriously because it is already terribly serious.

When people realize you're not the stuffed shirt they think you are it's such a relief and you have people who really like to be around you.

It's my personal opinion and I'm not espousing it to anybody else, I think your immune system and how healthy you are determines how you react to any excess of any kind.

I'm not known as a singer, but in life I like to do things that are a bit beyond my reach to keep myself from slipping.

I consume an enormous number of books, but they're always on a particular subject because I'm obsessive.
