It's great the way the old-time directors used to manipulate the hell out of you. You see someone dying and all of a sudden a ghost would come out and they go walking hand in hand up the stairway.

Children are the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. It hurts me to be away from them for a few hours. It really does. I love them and they're girls, so they know how to push my buttons. But I've learned a lot and I have to thank my wife for that.

Study people's success stories hard. Study their failures even harder.

Through failure, I found different ways to reverse my problems and get into the mainstream of Hollywood.

The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.

Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.

I have made a lot of career mistakes, a lot and I have made a lot of personal ones too!
