Money and power come as a byproduct of things well done.
Acting is a mix of luck and choice. I got lucky.
Princess Diana was a nice dancer because she had confidence. In fact, when we danced together she started to lead, and I looked her in eye and went, 'No, you have to let me lead.' So I grabbed her around the waist and we were off to the races.
I probably have some sort of chocolate five times a week. There's definitely a change it does to the chemistry of the body. It's my favorite feeling. I live for it.
The maze ... was such a mind-altering and life-changing experience. ... My gosh, I mean for something that's pretend it changes your viewpoint on life,
I will be doing DALLAS. I heard LARRY (HAGMAN) approved of me. We were in PRIMARY COLORS together and so it was sweet for him to give his seal of approval.
It's basically like old home week. You get to hang out with your buddies.
I never in a million years thought I would be starring in Hairspray, ever. Because if you think about my past, it's been 30 years of playing a macho leading man, so when I was offered it, I said: "Why? Why me? What have I done to deserve that you think I should do this?" After much convincing, over a year and two months, I was convinced they wanted to make a great movie.
I was always a character actor, basically, that sometimes looks like a leading man.
With some actors, you can tell when they're acting all by themselves, no matter who else is in the screen.
People make judgments about Scientology, but often they don't know what they're talking about.
What we've seen in the shelters is wonderful, because people are being taken care of. What we've seen in the city is disastrous.
We'd use IVF. It's not a big deal any more. Children are such a joy.
You know, I've never killed a man before. I mean I droped bombs on the enemy from the above, but never face to face. [thinking pause] I don't see what the big deal is - I really don't.
