I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.

When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. It's like death.

There's no way that I could do a 9 to 5 job. There's no way. I was not cut out for that. You come in and you work for three months on the one job. They say, 'Great,' you know, and you're on to the next one - and you never even got fired. It's wonderful.

I want to work with great people. Great people really make you better.

If you're going to stick around in this business, you have to have the ability to reinvent yourself, whether consciously or unconsciously.

I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.

What, like I want to look like Dick Clark? No. I think I look great with liver spots.

I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.

You don't have to be alone with your thoughts anymore. You don't have to process anything. You can call up someone to do something to instantly make you sort of feel better.

That's what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other.

Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it's not all that important to me anymore.

I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.

I love acting and making your own luck. You have to recreate yourself, I guess. Although, I don't know how.

My interpretation of a strong director is someone who knows their story. That's what directors are, they're storytellers because they're directing where your focus is going to be as an audience.

I was made to be a perfectionist at everything I did. Everything was more important than what I wanted.

I've done so many movies that when I see them I don't really watch them.

'Legion' was a lot of fun to shoot. It was a real unique apocalypse scenario that takes place in a diner out in the desert. Very much like a drive-in B-movie, but in a good way.

Athletes are sort of part of the community at large. They have to be dedicated to what they do, and go through lots of peaks and valleys. And there's a lot of training that goes into their careers. It's a struggle. Very dramatic.

Before I was an actor, I was never able to hold a job for more than 3 months for some reason. It just wouldn't hold my interest, so there was some way that I wound up quitting or getting fired from it. But being an actor is perfect, because movies usually take about three months to shoot. Then it's over and they say, 'Hey, great job!'

Certainly I'm a Christian first and foremost. But I do believe in religious tolerance and finding the commonality between all of us. I think that's how we're all going to come together.

Everybody just wants to be famous first, and then maybe learn how to act.

Families need a spiritual bond with one another and with God. God is the only way you're going to make it in life, the glue that holds everything together.

For many years, I was obsessed about what I was eating, how many calories it had, and how much exercise I'd have to do.

God is the only way you're going to make it in life, the glue that holds everything together.

Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.

I always want to find the best burger in town.

I always wanted to be an astronaut.

I didn't play football in school, but I've been a fan of football all my life. I have a fair understanding of it. Doing movies about it really helps because you know what makes them work and what doesn't.

I directed a movie back in the '90s which had calf roping in it, and I got into it quite a bit back then.

I don't see how it's a risky thing to take a great part with a great director and a great script. That, to me, is not really a dangerous, risky proposition. It's actually a really good choice.

I found golf late in life, in 1990. I took some lessons and struggled. Then one day, I hit a drive that was so crisp and clean, with no vibration. There's no feeling like it. I was hooked.

I grew up Baptist and still go to church. I myself have explored other religions, because I want to know what it is that makes other people tick. I find we're all talking about the same thing, really - it's all God.

I grew up in Houston, and I remember we had separate drinking fountains, and black people sat in the balcony of the theater... We had an African-American housekeeper growing up who was really like my second mother. I thought it was silly - hatred just because of the color of somebody's skin.

I guess I could say I'm an actor, which I am, but that sounds like I'm putting down being a movie star, which, let's face it, is what I've become to many people. For myself, I'm a guy who was very insecure from about age 14 until the day I hit my 30th birthday.

I have a ranch in Montana, but it's not a real working ranch. I've always liked the outdoors. I come from Texas. My grandfather was a farmer; that's as close as I come.

I have always done my own stunts, and I have been in hundreds of fights in films, but I have never been in a fist fight outside the movies.

I judge movies on how much fun I had while I was doing them. I had a great time on 'The Right Stuff.' Doing that was fantastic. And there was the year I did 'The Rookie' and 'Far From Heaven,' which was amazing because those two different roles were just so far apart.

I like acting and being a musician. It's like comparing apples and oranges. But I really like my day job. I've always played music since I was 12, and I guess I always will.

I look for a good story. Usually the best stories are the ones that are unbelievably true. 'Soul Surfer' is one of those stories.

I love being a dad, and I'm good at it. Kids teach you about life, like how not to focus on yourself so much.

I love being a dad. Basically it's the most gratifying, rewarding relationship in life. But, at the same time, it certainly is the most challenging.

I love doing independent films, but it's very hard to make a living that way.

I love politics, but I wouldn't want to be involved in it. Too little money, too much work!

I owe the little formal education I got to my drama teacher, Mr. Pickett, who got us to read Shakespeare, Moliere, and other classics.

I really love doing what I do, being an actor. It's the greatest. You can do it until you die.

I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.

I spent a weekend in the White House with President Clinton, back in '99, I guess. We played golf and just hung out and talked on many subjects. I saw him several times subsequently in L.A. He's the smartest man I ever met, a great politician. Everybody was star struck around him.

I still have my original love for acting. That's why I feel so lucky. I think that's what sustains me in the sort of leaner times.

I try to be eclectic in my choice of films. If I've done anything that's intentional in my career, it's to try to do as many different types of characters and as many different types of genres of movies that I can.
