Execution is everything.

A fella who accepts himself and is relaxed into who he is - that appeals to people.

One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age. It's funny, I get an image of the thing with eggs and chickens where, when the egg is getting ready to hatch, the little chicken will start to peck at the shell a little bit, and the mom will hear that and start to peck at the shell from the outside, and they're both kind of working together.

It was fortunate for all of us to have Joaquin Jackson, who is a very renowned Texas Ranger, on board. He spent quite a few days with us on set and he added a lot to it for me on what it's like to be a Texas Ranger.

My main teachers were my father and my mother and my brother.

I have hesitation making any kind of decision, really in my life. I'm really slow at it.

I like to think of myself as a character actor, though there's some redundancy in that...
