I've always been really hot on westerns. All my life growing up, cowboy, cowboy, cowboy.

I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

If you look back on your life and where you started from it's like looking back down a mountain back to the desert floor. It's like now I can't believe I had whatever it takes or perceived whatever it took to get here.

It's sort of well-known that anytime any catastrophe happens anywhere in the world, they can count on the United States for help.

I was very lucky once I got started with a career. I happened to get some really good parts to play with some really good people to play with.

I like the character roles. Somewhere back there I really came to the conclusion in my mind that the difference between acting and stardom was major. And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.

I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving.
