I want my children to live in the country, to be a part of nature.

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 answer a fan with a hearing heart first.

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.

It is possible to get rich only by being diligent

When we hold-on to someone's imperfections we become emotionally pair-bonded to their maladies.

There is no truth that does not ultimately rest upon what is evident to us in our own experience.

I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.

The most beautiful people are all in the library.

Don't be afraid! We won't make an author of you, while there's an honest trade to be learnt, or brick-making to turn to.

It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities and talents.

Could I do with a little life editing? Would that give me a little more freedom? Maybe a little more time?

Photos are our autobiography, a way of telling who we are.

I don't mind UFO's and ghost stories, it's just that I tend to give value to the storyteller rather than to the story itself.
