I think kids growing up, if they were picked on and feeling inferior at 12, they're going to feel that way at 72. You just deal with it better. I'm serious.

I never started out to be an action actor. I was an ensemble actor. "Rocky" was an ensemble film. "F.I.S.T." was an ensemble. "Paradise Alley" was an ensemble.

Without the church it's like having a boat without the rudder. You think you can do it on your own and this may sound pedestrian or trite but I'll equate it to this: all my life I've been involved with exercise but no matter how much - and I know a great deal about the body - you need help. You need a trainer. You need to go to a gym and you need to have the expertise and the guidance of someone else. You cannot train yourself. I feel the same way about Christianity and what the church is. The church is the gym of the soul.

I know I can't play funny roles in movies. I tried, and it didn't work.

I guess the best thing I do of all is ride. Horsemanship, I have a natural flair for it.

If you think people are inherently good, you get rid of the police for 24 hours - see what happens.

Theater is like boxing - having the audience ringside. It's instant gratification. Or horrification.
