That I can't relate to today's music or morals doesn't make either necessarily bad. Just different. I leave the judgements to others.

Just the other day, it seems, the kids were running through the house, slamming doors, breaking glass, making noise. Time goes by so quickly. Sometimes everything seems so fleeting.

Acting coaches in Hollywood were always telling me to use my hands and body more. But that was never me. I just breathe and sometimes it doesn't look as if I'm doing that.

My only regret in life is that I didn't spend as much time with my kids as I now wish I had.

We also own a little boat and I'm like a kid with it. I take off early in the morning, fishing rod in tow, and just drift about the ocean all day.

People have always thought that I wasn't ambitious. They judged by appearances and were fooled. I was competitive. I wanted success and was willing to work for it.

I had 13 weeks off and I would pack up the family and drive to some mountain retreat where we could be together and fish all day. I loved it. I needed it.

I worked with the world's greatest talents and then went home to the world's greatest woman. It was, and is, a great life.

But today, I feel the genuine warmth, the affection, and although I may joke about it, I am touched.

The bluest skies . . . are in Seattle.

In many ways, that affection is the real reward for 56 years in the business. Although the money ain't exactly bad either.

Did God ever cry over his lost angel, I wonder?

They went into stores to get food to stay alive. Looting isn't the right word. I call it survival.

People always ask 'Why is Bubba different?' They're just trying to figure it out.

The only international language in the world is a child's cry.

Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.

I think baking cookies is equal to Queen Victoria running an empire. There's no difference in how seriously you take the job, how seriously you approach your whole life.

Despite failing to get bin Laden, the U.S. government and media portrayed the early Afghanistan war as a great victory.

From the moment an organizer enters a community, he lives, dreams, eats, breathes, sleeps only one thing, and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army.

That's really what science is just trying to figure stuff out, and I like figuring stuff out.

It is not important to be successful at what you undertake, but rather to undertake what you'd like to succeed at.
