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.

I've never minded my kids watching any of the series I did. That's important to me

Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.

I learn the whole script before I show up.

And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.

For 40 years, I put my body through a tremendous amount of work.

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.
