Acting manifested as the primary focus over the years but now I am stirring the pot once again with my voice.

I have always been intrigued with singing and I actually started my career in musical comedies.

I now have great color sprinkled throughout my herd.

You can take the girl out of Texas but not the Texas out of the girl and ultimately not the girl out of Texas.

The ranch was raw land when I bought it and, for better or worse, I have designed every aspect of it from the corrals, the arena, to the barn, to the house.

I have always written poetry but I have never applied it to songwriting.

My desire is to stand up and brush myself off when I make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.

Longhorns are unique - each and every one of them is a different color with a different design.

I love to ride horses, hike in the woods with Juliette and appraise Longhorns.

Acting manifested as the primary focus over the years but now I am stirring the pot once again with my voice.

I wrote my children's book because I believe there are children that are hurting and may need to know that there is love out there for them- God's love.

My desire is to walk with God every day.

However, I do firmly believe in maintaining the integrity of the animal.

In 2003, I had the pleasure of acting in three films.

Thus, during the winter of 2003 I ventured into a new arena as a professional photographer.

I am both proud and honored to be on the Board of Directors for the Texas Ballet Theater.

My desire is to be a forgiving, non-judgmental person.

I don't believe in messing with mother-nature too much.

My Longhorns are registered and I am a member of the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association.

The second purchase was my ranch, Mockingbird Hill. The third purchase was Longhorn cattle.

I have learned how to plant coastal hay, fertilize and bale it.

My desire is to let go of my ego and let in His direction.

I, also, found the opportunity to work with the actors extremely gratifying and rewarding.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

Be where the acting is. I live in Houston. Dallas is 4 1/2 hours away. I let them know there's no difference.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

I think acting is about forgetting yourself in order to give the best of yourself. It's passing through you more than you're creating it. You're not the flower, but the vase which holds the flower.

In LA, too many people want to go the quickest route from A to B. Method acting offers them that.

I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.

Maybe I can't act, but I know the gimmicks. I studied acting all my life and know what's good for me.

I know that if I'd had to go and take an exam for acting, I wouldn't have got anywhere. You don't take exams for acting, you take your courage.

I'm not acting, but I am acting.

I've done a lot of acting. I'm not saying I'm the greatest, but I'd love to act, I'd love to sing.

I had a bonding problem when I went off and boxed for five years. I was over in Europe and Asia fighting because I wanted to do something different; I was tired of acting. But the thing is, when I was done doing that, I couldn't get a job.

Acting for me is not that quid pro quo.

If you're acting, then there's a prescribed way to behave; whereas in life there's no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.

When I was a kid, the idea of why I wanted acting to be the thing I do for the rest of my life was different. It was, Oh yeah, I'll get girls and be famous.

And then, I suppose, there's also a cinematic reality on top of that. Because it was extremely difficult to keep tabs on, it was quite confusing acting that.

I read. It's also nice for me to get involved in schoolwork, which is a totally different world than acting. It makes me feel like I am doing things that normal people are doing at my age.

It's a living, breathing thing, acting.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

I don't see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don't define them separately, so I can't say one has helped the other, It's all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing.

In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.

It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.

Acting doesn't bring anything to a text. On the contrary, it detracts from it.

Acting is the perfect idiot's profession.

We believe, in fact, that the one act of respect has little force unless matched by the other - in balance with it... The acting out of that dual respect I would name as precisely the source of our power.
