When you try to bring a story to life, it starts in your head and you see possibilities for it, but it's just one damn thing after another.

If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.

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

My work is really a blast. When it stops being a blast, then it ain't no fun no more!

I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

I am who I am, and I think I have a good nature, by and large. But if someone takes advantage of that good nature, well then, you know, I'm not that nice a guy.

I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel.
