I answer a fan with a hearing heart first.

Instead, most colleges are studies in obsolescence.

I met Cynthia when I was 12, proposed at 16, became engaged at 17, married her at 19 and we had a baby when I was 20. If extra work could pay for a lot of diapers, that was for me.

That first year at Universal was a big blur and, naturally, I thought they were wasting me. I didn't realize at the time that I was learning my craft and acting more easily in front of the camera.

Friends, near or far, are important to us. All of ours have an awareness of other persons' feelings, a courtesy that's inevitable. When I find that consideration in a fan, I'm immediately impressed.

A policeman, as you discover, has to put up with a hell of a lot of abuse. A man in any other line of work would nail a guy who laid that kind of abuse on him. I know I would.

I've been lucky - I've been an actor for eight years and I've never been out of work.

Meanwhile, Cynthia and I are busy fixing up a real old house that we just bought in Hollywood. With two children now, we just couldn't live in our small rented home any longer.

Well, I grew up in a tough neighborhood.

I noticed that almost everyone I went to college with has worked at something other than the subject they majored in. I guess that's one of the reasons for campus unrest.

I feel that education needs an overhaul - courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out.

Dear, sweet, beautiful girl,

Empathy is the most radical of human emotions.

I'm not the prototype wide receiver. But I like to think I'm one hell of a football player.

Bisexuality is not so much a cop-out as a fearful compromise.

One brave deed makes no hero.

Gardening is the instrument of grace.

Sometimes my family thinks I've made my childhood a bit more Dickensian than it was, and it probably wasn't all that bad. But I was uncomfortable as a kid.

There can be no happiness without good health
