I'll keep on acting 'til they wipe the drool. I like the business. I like to do different parts and diverse characters. I haven't lost my enthusiasm yet!

You know, Hollywood sometimes tends to patronize the interior of the United States. As Horton Foote used to say, the great Texas playwright, that a lot of people from New York don't know what goes on beyond the South Jersey Shore.

I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.

The greatest king of Israel, King David, the author of the Psalms, sent a man out to die in battle so that he could sleep with his wife.

I don't have many people showing up at my door. Very few people come out. When they do, I get a little suspicious. I live way up on a hill, way, way back in the country.

You gotta be careful with message movies. People say "What do you want people to take away from it?" I always say its totally individual.

I wouldn't mind starting to ride some more if I had a really good horse to just work a little bit with every day.
