The older I get the more things I gotta leave behind.

The church is the gym of the soul.

Some actors are brilliant character guys. They submerge.

I'm always looking for a new challenge. There are a lot of mountains to climb out there. When I run out of mountains, I'll build a new one.

'Rocky' represents the optimistic side of life, and 'Rambo' represents purgatory.

If you come into my house, I'm going to fight much more viciously to get you out than if we were on a neutral piece of land.

In this day and age, if you're aspiring to be an actor, and you're putting all your eggs in one basket, you could be disappointed. I started out as an actor, but I forced myself to be a writer, even though I wasn't very good at it and had never written. I don't think I ever passed an English course in my life. My first 8 to 10 scripts were pretty horrendous, but I stayed at it until I eventually found a voice and a subject that people were interested in. So, I recommend that you go out and try to be as versatile as possible: writer, actor, producer and especially director.
