I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.

I learn the whole script before I show up.

I started out wanting to coach football.

Clint Eastwood's a good friend, too - he and I used to play in softball games together.

I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.

I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.

So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.
