song guy hats
I'm an actor. I'm not a performer. I'm not like a song and dance guy who can take a cane and a hat and do it. I would just you know. That's why I never did commercials.
people ears television
On TV you can, you know you can cram, you know, 30 people into a closet and have an orgy, and then they can all shoot up, and everybody has cigarettes in their nostrils and their ears. They don't care. So yeah, television is amazing right now.
couple ideas wrong-person
I always have an idea before we even start the movie because if you hire the wrong person, within a couple of days you're going to know that and you're going to be really panicked.
term my-own only-time
The only times you'll see me in terms of the movie business is when I have to go to the premieres of my own movies. I don't go to see ones that aren't mine because I don't even like going to mine.
kids home pages
If you looked in magazines ... you never see me in those out-on-the-town pages. I'm either at home playing with the kids or I'm working.
father real years
I didn't cry at my father's funeral, and I felt guilty about that. Of course, he got sick not too long after he and I had had that final altercation, and I felt real guilty because of that, too. Then years later, one day, I was probably in my late twenties, early thirties, and I just broke down crying, because I finally got my father.
father kids way
I can't imagine laying a finger on my kids. I go the other way and probably because my father was so abusive.
dream california people
I'll always consider myself a Southerner. A lot of people put California down, but my dreams were realized there.
dad hug my-dad
My dad didn't hug me every day and say he loved me and anything like that.
dad years funeral
At my dad's funeral I didn't cry when my dad died. I did it years later when I forgave him, which I've totally forgiven him and I loved my dad.
kids church pay
A lot of kids, when they go to church, they don't really pay much attention to what they're saying or whatever.
book writing years
I never wanted to write a book, and people have asked me for years to do it.
stars fun rock-and-roll
I worked as a roadie in the rock and roll business which was great fun. Very little money, very little food and the whole thing about the roadie's lifestyle is great because all the groupies have to go through the roadies to get to the rock stars. It's not necessarily true.
made knows south
The movies I've made about the South, they were my experience and it's something that I know.
