All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.

I had a very strong feeling about the Vietnam War, and I had a strong feeling about participating in it. The military draft was in place, I was summoned for a physical exam, and I was either going to be classified as fit for military service or make my objection to it. So I made my objection to it.

I was always very grateful I was never hot. In the entire length of my career, I haven't been the most adored.

It's part of the job of the actor to torture the director.

We don't have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live, but it's important to be with our family and friends.

I have gay people in my family who weren't able to openly discuss homosexuality, and I feel like that's shifted, especially here on the coast.

Having three kids at home is sometimes like dealing with Democrats and Republicans when you're choosing a restaurant.
