The script - and a good one - tells you everything that you need to know.

I've done a few movies where I really liked the project, but I wasn't sure about the director, and I still did it and my instinct was right, in the beginning. Even though it was a good story, the guy still didn't really know what he was doing.

Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money... I used to love traveling on the trains from town to town. The hotels... brass spittoons in the lobbies, brass beds in the rooms. It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep. Shoot, I'd play for nothing!

I'm a big believer that the script is your bible.

I've only been in one fight in my whole life... in 7th grade, yet everyone thinks I'm a maniac.

I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me

My career has been up and down, and I like it much better being up.
