From what I can see, too many kids don't learn pride in their country anymore.

On my visits back home, if they saw that I was getting a big head, they'd let me know right away.

It was when Boston invited us to do a parade one November, and I was the only [Star Wars] cast member skeptical of the willingness of people to come out to see us five actors drive by in antique cars in the Boston rain. Well, it was the first time I really understood the show's popularity.

But from what I can see all around me today, that America is fading fast, if it's not already gone.

I mean, Cheers [from the Star Wars] was just a job while we were doing it. All of us were really only hustling to pay the rent, weren't we.

I never went to drama school, so that was more like I was getting away with it.

After all, at end of the day, when you're breathing your last, it's not your producer, director, or cast mates by your bedside; it's your children. Keep that in mind.
