A war is a horrible thing, but it's also a unifier of countries.
My dad was a big admirer of Sergeant York stories from the First World War.
The U.S. military was segregated 'til the Korean War, and the blacks in World War Two were totally segregated.
The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.
I was drafted during the Korean War.
I was an Eisenhower Republican when I started out at 21 because he promised to get us out of the Korean War.
I was drafted during the Korean War. None of us wanted to go... It was only a couple of years after World War II had ended. We said, 'Wait a second? Didn't we just get through with that?'
Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
I saw Sidney Lumet out there, who's 80, and I thought, 'I'm just a kid,'
I was a fan of Hilary's from 'Boys Don't Cry' and I saw her in 'Insomnia,' where she was good, but she didn't have a very deep part.
I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.
I loved the fact that Obama is multi-racial. I thought that was terrific, as my wife is the same racial make-up.
I kind of make a film for myself to sort of express myself.
I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.
