Communications are better now than in my Vietnam days.

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.

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.

In order to be a good actor, I'm a firm believer that you need to bring something to the table.

You'd be surprised how many kids and young people come to the website and send me email that they are actually going into the Marine Corps because of something that I said or did.

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

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