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

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.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

I do like to embed a fictional character firmly in an occupation.

But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he's in a place where I wouldn't have expected him to be - taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend's wife.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

Each of us is meant to have a character all our own, to be what no other can exactly be, and do what no other can exactly do.

I liked Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, and that is the kind of character that I would like to have played. That would have been more in tune with who I really was.

It's the difficulty we had with Mr. Bean, actually, when it went from TV to film. You certainly discover that you need to explain more about a character.

In a lot of ways, the make-up was the character.

The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.

So many people have said that to me, that what they really like about Alex is what she brings out in Marissa, and what this situation brings out in her, a hint of happiness and another side to her character.

I've been on the show for six years and I don't even know what her history is. I sort of make things up in my mind, but I think it's hard for an audience to follow and invest in a character when they don't have the details.

It is not true that drink changes a man's character. It may reveal it more clearly.

Because I killed a guy in real life, and because my character kills a guy onstage, they said I could never do anything this great again. I resented that.

Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours. There are only two of us in the play. And It's a complete experience.

I just kind of understood it, and I threw my love for others and love for life into the character, and was having a blast. I loved playing Dharma. I loved it!

I think if you play a character that is fearless, then it's boring. I think that's what was so incredible about Harrison Ford, is that he always seemed like he was never going to survive it, he's always scared, and yet he always does survive it somehow.

If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself - your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers.

Every character I play has to be the hero of his own story, the way we're all heroes of our own lives.

To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.

Character is power; it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness.
