Age is a state of old mind. It gets to a point where if you get old enough, you forget how old you are, and that's the best thing. And then you walk around kind of like in a fog.

Some people maybe try to justify their laziness. You take out what you put in and the more I go to church and the more I turn myself over to the process of believing in Jesus, and to listening to his word and have him guide my hand I feel the pressure's off me.

Sometimes I write with music on, and if I'm in a good flow, I don't even hear it.

When you're an actor, you're a slave to other people's visions.

There aren't a lot of opportunities for that rite of passage that makes you a man. War is one of them, and violent sports are another.

When you're pushed killing is as easy as breathing.

Boxing is the only sport where you have the audience coming right up to you and saying, "You Stink." And you got to deal with that. It's like being in front of the lions.
