I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.
I hope I left behind a legacy that people will enjoy. But whatever they want to say, I can't predict.
If you don't have heroes in the beginning, you don't grow.
Seeing your name on the list for KP or guard duty when you're in the Army is like reading a bad review.
Some Russian ballet master woman said there's no culture in America, but if you look you can find interesting stuff in this country, don't you think?

I'm a man without a corporation.
My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.
