In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.
I wanted to explore the values that are at work, underpinning my life.
I come from a great family. I've seen family life and I know how wonderful, how nurturing, and how wonderful it can be.
The journey has been incredible from its beginning.
If you apply reason and logic to this career of mine, you're not going to get very far. You simply won't.
I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.
Far as I can tell, I still have most of my hair, my gut is not hanging over my belt, and I still have all of my teeth.
My father was a poor man, very poor in a British colonial possession where class and race were very important.
My father was the quintessential husband and dad.
To be compared to Jackie Robinson is an enormous compliment, but I don't think it's necessarily deserved.
I had learned something of Miami from people who had visited there, so I knew what to expect.
I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida.
I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month.
So I'm OK with myself, with history, my work, who I am and who I was.

Jackie Robinson is a true legend.
When I set out to become an actor, I had set myself a standard.
My father was very big on marriage.
I had two roles for which I compromised.
In America, it is difficult to be your own man.
I don't very often read novels.
But my dad also was a remarkable man, a good person, a principled individual, a man of integrity.
Mine was an easy ride compared to Jackie Robinson's.
