I try to get over to Iraq and Afghanistan as much as I can.

Back in those days intimidation was the greatest tool the drill instructor had. Without that tool, he would not have had control.

Even though I disagree with many of the changes, when I see the privates graduate at the end of the day, when they walk off that drill field at the end of the ceremony, they are still fine privates; outstanding, well motivated privates.

Every character I've ever played, I always try to take him right to the edge and not allow him to fall over, but directors have a tendency to pull me back a little bit.

Try as you may, you can never defy love.

I've never had to spend any time in the VA hospital, so I really can't speak for those guys.

I don't have to be concerned about everybody else's character.
