I'd always rather be working - and you know what? My kids would rather me be working. If I stay at home, I'll only buy another car or spend their money.
The Only Things That Were Available To Me Were Either Be A Laborer Or Be A Drug Dealer. So I Became An Armed Robber. It Was A Lot Simpler.
The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.
I never imagined that I'd be out of prison.
I would have been content with still playing Inmate #1. I worked on every prison movie made, from 1985 to 1991. I would go from movie to movie to movie.
I think I'm a workaholic, but I'm a workaholic that is loving his work.
I understand the formula that producers hire directors and directors are hired to direct and actors are hired to act. I don't have any conflict with any directors because I know they're the boss.
I relate to any prison movie, as long as it has some authenticity.
I love to work, so give me what you've got. I'll play a tree, if you want me to. If you want fruit on it, then pay me more money. Otherwise, I just love to work.
I had a crush Florence Henderson when I was younger, i would love to meet Marcia but I would prefer mom.
I love action films. I don't really like drama.
There is no significance of God in my life, God is my life. I would not be, without God. I am supposed to be dead.
I love old, vintage cars. I've got a 1936 Dodge Touring Sedan right now and there's only five of them registered in the world, and I absolutely love working on it. It's gorgeous.
When people clap for me I say, don't clap for me, clap for what God has done.
