I have had a lot of blessed, interesting things happen to me and have bumped up against some amazing people.

I'm not going to stop talking to people who come up to me in an airport. I'm not going to worry about what may be their ulterior motive.

One of my favorite books [The Stand] of all time. I grew up reading it.

I like the tradition of ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances and how they react to events which force them to be heroic in a way that is not in their natures.

I happen to be a movie star, but I'm not saying, "Hey, I'm a role model. Imitate me."

I went from doing something that was very original, sort of subversive, and specific in its voice - The Grinder - and loved every minute of it, but having done that, I was anxious to do something that had more broad appeal and to embrace the good things about that.

I believe in ceremony. I think ceremony is important, pomp and circumstance, tradition. I'm into those things.
