I got into film acting because I wanted to be James Dean. We lost him at a very young age - he was only 24 - but I’m 51 going on 52, so there's only so many times you can act like James Dean. I had to find new ways of expressing myself that kept me fascinated with film performance.

I think it's no secret that I've tried to take chances in my career and also in my life, and I believe to not live in fear.

I know what it's like to meet someone you admire and have them be a complete jerk.

I like being at that place where you can either fall or stand. That's where I think you really have a shot at doing something truthful.

I'm the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.

Don't lose the best thing in your life just because you are not sure.

If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn't have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point.
