I honestly do feel that I am a role model for young people.

I'm never, like I say, I'm never happy, I'm never satisfied, it's never good enough.

For me, it's an honor for the military to ask me to go to Iraq, Afghanistan, or GITMO. I'm happy to go.

I spend a lot of time with my characters.

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

I got space from Travis Air Force Base, went back to the Philippine Islands and made it a point to meet the only American casting director in the Philippines. I was off and running.

Communications are better now than in my Vietnam days.
