The men in Vietnam weren't allowed to fight the war with any kind of concern to win by the government. It was like a war of attrition.

I've done my "mind over matter" movies, and I think probably that people aren't really interested in seeing me do that anymore. I think I'm kind of past my prime to do dramatic films. I think it'd become kind of like almost a pathetic cry out to be recognized as a serious drama actor.

When people meet me they’re often surprised. I talk a great deal.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

The only thing that I haven't done is perform brain surgery on myself. I've been very, very lucky. I've spared Shakespeare undue stress by not doing that.

Every morning, I crawl out of bed. I sit there and think, 'Do I really need this?' And I drag myself to the gym in my garage. It's not fun. I hate it. I work out alone. Weights.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.
