I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.
It seems to me like all these people claim to be the victim, Acting like the whole entire world is out to get them. Stand up on your own, And prove that you are grown, Because the life that you save may be your own.
I learn the whole script before I show up.
I've never minded my kids watching any of the series I did. That's important to me
Why is the world round? Why do the suckas bite? Why do the freaks come out at night? Why they paint Jesus white? I sit and wonder why we breakin hip-hop laws, Doing videos in houses that we know ain't yours.
I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.
I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.
My fiancee and I recently eloped. We went on a fabulous honeymoon to Europe, and I was able to see and do everything I wanted without worrying about taking it easy.
I worked for the recreation and parks department for a year.
I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s.
Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.
I've never seen a schedule where you just go in two hours almost every day of the week and then all day on one day. Then you shoot it at night with an audience and you're out of there.
So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.
I did a few more plays, and then I went to L.A., because I knew I could get a coaching job there.
I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.
Acting is a tough business, and the percentage of people who make it is very low - it's about 1 percent.
Clint Eastwood's a good friend, too - he and I used to play in softball games together.
Knee replacement is serious stuff. And it actually could have made me worse
I have twin boys, 12, and a daughter, 17.
I thought I'd gone to heaven, because I grew up watching Roy and Gene Autry
I just turned 66, and I'm starting to work again.
And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.
I started out wanting to coach football.
Doing a series, every week you work with a new star.
For 40 years, I put my body through a tremendous amount of work.
