Art is about expressing the true nature of the human spirit in whatever way one wishes to express it. If it is honest, it is beautiful. If it is not honest, it is obvious.

Emmanuel Lewis was amazing to work with. I'll love that guy to the end of time.

Never let life impede on your ability to manifest your dreams. Dig deeper into your dreams and deeper into yourself and believe that anything is possible, and make it happen.

I'd just gotten into Los Angeles from Texas, where I live, and the phone rang and it was the guy calling about the Willie Nelson video. I was totally excited about it.

Stargate by far is the top of the pile when it comes to Sci-Fi. The quality is great. They have really good writers, production design, lighting, wardrobe.

I got to do a whole slew of TV movies playing the bad guy, including an episode of Smallville. That would never have happened if I hadn't done the Stand.

I like good stories. Quality products and character are what's important. Even if the script isn't that strong, if I challenge myself with a great character, I'll go for it.

The world is run by the people who show up.

Prowling about the rooms, sitting down, getting up, stirring the fire, looking out the window, teasing my hair, sitting down to write, writing nothing, writing something and tearing it up...

I do not admire young actresses whose foreheads cannot move.

[Improvisation ] is been with me all my life. We all do it.

A warrior takes every opportunity to teach himself.

The gift of independence once granted cannot be lightly taken away again.

Once I've learned all those things and gotten through the hard times, I come out feeling really powerful.

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize how wonderful you are, doesnt mean you shine any less.
