I realize that no one is going to come to me and ask me to be Julius Caesar or a romantic lead, but I think I'm a certain type of guy who looks a certain way, and that's just the reality of things.

I learned a long time ago: You're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

I have a home in Arizona. I go a couple months a year, but basically Chicago is my home.

I wanted to do Buddy Faro as a small budget movie. They said no. So I wanted to do it as a series of recurring TV movies, and they said no. So I agreed to do it as a series.

You cant act for the editing. You just go in and do the scene the way you think is right.

You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.

I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that's just not the case.

As far as carrying the American banner, you just do what's right for the kids.

I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

Asher means 'happy and blessed' which embodies my eldest. Caleb means 'stubborn and tenacious dog' and I can't even tell you how much that is my little boy! It was a useful warning.

Let perseverance be your engine and hope your fuel.

The only constant is change. Unless you get a small group of neighbors together to stop it.

We must remind ourselves that to do what is possible we must sometimes challenge ourselves with the impossible.

People attack Scientology, I never forget it, always even the score. People attack auditors, or staff, or organisations, or me. I never forget until the slate is clear.

Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little things is a great thing.

We dream our dreams, and sometimes they take us to places we never anticipate. But they are our dreams, and we go where they lead.

It ain't so much what a man doesn't know that causes him so many problems, but what he knows that ain't so.
