I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh, volatile business, and unless you can be ruthless, too, there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

It's just as hard staying happily married as it is doing movies.

I was never intimidated by change. I was like an army brat who had lived all around the world.

There was a period of time in Los Angeles when I wondered if I was just going to lose everything.

'Forrest Gump' was great, it was fabulous. It lasted much longer than anybody thought, and brought me a degree of attention that no human being on the face of the planet deserves.

I have gone through so many examinations of what a hero is, between the World War II stuff and the astronaut stuff.
