I love politics, but I wouldn't want to be involved in it. Too little money, too much work! I don't really have the personality for that.

I've never really sought out publicity.

I’ve always considered myself a character actor. That’s the way I was trained, really.

What I find is that we’re all human beings and that it’s all very similar, what we believe. At the bottom, there’s really not that much difference between Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists. We all worship God.

In my early teen years, I wanted to become a vet. That was my plan. I worked as a veterinarian’s assistant for a couple of summers.

In aviation they have auto pilot and color radar and a lot of other instrumentation that is a backup for pilots. It’s really brought the incidents of plane crashes way down. Same thing ought to happen in the medical industry, I think.

I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don’t know how.

Surfing is like golf: You’re always battling, and it keeps knocking you down. There are a lot of wipeouts. But when you stay with it and catch that wave, you really taste it. It’s magic.

I directed a movie back in the ’90s which had calf roping in it, and I got into it quite a bit back then.

Going to the golf course every day for work? That’s a good job.
