I've always considered myself a character actor. That's the way I was trained, really.
For many years, I was obsessed about what I was eating, how many calories it had, and how much exercise I'd have to do.
It's hard for two actors to be together. Take the traveling, for instance. It winds up being a long distance relationship, all the time, because one’s working here and one’s working there, or one’s staying at home and one’s off someplace else.
In aviation they have auto pilot and color radar and a lot of other instrumentation that is a backup for pilots. It's really brought the incidents of plane crashes way down. Same thing ought to happen in the medical industry, I think.
I grew up Baptist and still go to church. I myself have explored other religions, because I want to know what it is that makes other people tick. I find we're all talking about the same thing, really - it's all God.
I'm an idol of cinema? Oh, wow.
I directed a movie back in the '90s which had calf roping in it, and I got into it quite a bit back then.
Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.
I'm not really a pitcher; I just play one in the movies.
I owe the little formal education I got to my drama teacher, Mr. Pickett, who got us to read Shakespeare, Moliere, and other classics.
If you're going to stick around in this business, you have to have the ability to reinvent yourself, whether consciously or unconsciously.
There's no way that I could do a 9 to 5 job. There's no way. I was not cut out for that. You come in and you work for three months on the one job. They say, 'Great,' you know, and you're on to the next one - and you never even got fired. It's wonderful.
I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.
I didn't play football in school, but I've been a fan of football all my life. I have a fair understanding of it. Doing movies about it really helps because you know what makes them work and what doesn't.
My interpretation of a strong director is someone who knows their story. That's what directors are, they're storytellers because they're directing where your focus is going to be as an audience.
My family is the most important thing in the world to me, too, before anything else.
I always wanted to be an astronaut.
I like acting and being a musician. It's like comparing apples and oranges. But I really like my day job. I've always played music since I was 12, and I guess I always will.
Playing Bill Clinton is really, probably, the scariest time of my career.
I have a ranch in Montana, but it's not a real working ranch. I've always liked the outdoors. I come from Texas. My grandfather was a farmer; that's as close as I come.
I guess I could say I'm an actor, which I am, but that sounds like I'm putting down being a movie star, which, let's face it, is what I've become to many people. For myself, I'm a guy who was very insecure from about age 14 until the day I hit my 30th birthday.
I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.
I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. I grew up in Houston. Gordo Cooper was my favorite astronaut.
I was a really avid bowler when I was a teenager. I had about a 210-220 average. I had blisters on my fingers.
I'd love to do a golf movie. I turned down Don Johnson's role in 'Tin Cup.' I regret that.
