I spent a lot of time growing up in Oregon after I left California. Spent a lot of time in the woods.

Looking back on the long haul in my career, little films, big films, TV, the Western thing has been really good to me.

I've had those periods in my career when I was sitting around waiting for a phone call and had an agent who was doing the same thing rather than going out there to shake the bushes looking for a job for me. It's a frustrating game, that's the downside of this business - the rejection.

I've spent my entire career on horseback or on a motorcycle. It boxes you in, the way people perceive you. I read a lot of scripts. Most of 'em go to other actors.

Deathstroke,' in my view, is a family drama. It's like the 'Sopranos' with super villains.

Country radio is much more like a family than any other group of people that I've met.

Indeed, I was so afraid to dishonour my friends and family by my indiscreet actions, that I rather chose to be accounted a fool, than to be thought rude or wanton.

My mother was Irish; she had this great sense of humor, and both my parents loved films. There was a very vibrant discourse about politics and everything that was going on in the world where I grew up. So I was genetically predisposed to go into the performing arts.
