As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.

Yes, I took up the guitar when I was about 14 or 15, in high school.

My favorite Oscar story was a year my brother had been nominated, my whole family went.

I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.

And when I've been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.

And I like music, too, I like playing music.

Part of the western movement is this desire that we, Americans, have to keep pressing on.

We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.

I've always been interested in the history of the West, our country and particularly as it relates to the Native Americans - the original Americans.

Some of my oldest friends are actors. But that's not the only place my friends come from.

Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.

I think, I would guess most people keep secrets.

I got five kids, and my oldest is a documentary film maker and camera man, and still photographer.

Steve and I saw eye to eye on the story and I got the part, but I think in the beginning it was due to my brother's instigation. So I owe him for that.

My brother and I are always trying to figure out a way to work again together.

Sure, I have a lot of friends that are actors. Just because I guess I run into a lot of actors in my work.

Yeah, I'm very impressed with Lifetime, this is the first time I've worked with them. I really like the kind of programming that they're into, so I'm hoping that I will.

My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad.

But on the other hand I believe I'm a private person too, and I enjoy that aspect of my life as well.

And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.

My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.

Dylan, myself and my father were in a two hour movie called The Sand Kings, which started off the Outer Limits series. It was sort of the two hour pilot movie.

I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers... I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.

As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.

The one we keep pitching and there are no takers is The Fabulous Baker Boys Go To Hawaii. There don't seem to be any takers on that one!

My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it's a good story I usually enjoy doing the character.

The things I enjoy most as I watch the movie are the things that came through without even thinking.

First of all my real full name is Lloyd Vernet Bridges III.

When we work to end childhood hunger we are giving our love to kids who need it so much they will never ask for it.

My favorite actor is Wallace Beery.

I've been a very lucky actor.

I don't think I could be happy as an actor if there was a tyrant on the set.

When I was starting to get noticed as an actor in the 1970s for something other than the third cowboy on the right who ended up dying in every movie or episode, Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in the world.

Most parts that can be played by one actor can equally well be played by another, but not this.

I think, frankly, that I'm a better director than I was an actor.

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.

I don't think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself.

I don't think there has been any increase in sophistication in the audience. When people are aware of a concept that's easy to understand, and there's an actor who will attract them to the theater and it's a movie that's funny three-quarters of the time, it will be successful.

I never dreamed about being an actor, because that was out of reach. Coming from a small town that was big in farming, and also big in clothing factories, you don't dream about being a professional football player or an actor.

My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.

If you really do want to be an actor who can satisfy himself and his audience, you need to be vulnerable.

To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist.

I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.

And once you cease to be a real person, you stop being a good actor.

When I decided I wanted to be an actor, I said I wanted to work with quality actors and directors.

There are roles I want that my agency might not want me to do because of the subject matter or whatever. Or there are roles that people won't bring to me because they don't think I'll do it. And that is a big strain because an actor wants to act.

Reality is, I'm an actor and an entertainer, and I really wouldn't know what to do with another profession.

I still feel like I'm trying to make it. It's hard to shed the struggling actor thing.
