I can evaluate a player in a very short period of time because I’m very close to that game, very educated in that game and played the game for a long, long time. I wasn’t just a guy with talent. I learned a lot about the game.

Acting was something that just came along. But I made good money, so it wasn’t something I was just going to put aside and pretend it didn’t exist.

We all do that thing which is the best in movies – we relate.

If it hadn’t been for the videocassette, I may not have had a career at all.

For guys playing sports at a high level, for money, I can’t put my finger on it, but in a man’s world of sport, there is something visceral to beating another man.

Society questions the police and their methods, and the police say, Do you want the criminals off the street or not?

My first year of pro ball I played in the Northwest league and made the all-star team, and the next year I played I led the team in hitting and was third or fifth in the league.

I don’t really look for specific types of projects any more. I’m not taking care of a career anymore. I’m just having fun acting.

When you first are in front of the camera as a young person, you’d be surprised at all the insecurities you can get.

I do get cynical, but what can you do? It doesn’t make any difference.

Human beings, from their own point of view, are very different than what people see.

I played professional level sports. When you’re playing for money, it’s a whole other level.

I usually hang out on the set. I get to know everybody. I have a nice time with the other actors.

I always look forward to working with Goldie because she’s a great person to work with.

When you think you’re good, you will play at that level. If you doubt yourself, you will play like crap.

When I was working on my career, I was very aware of what I had done, what I wanted to do next. I’m having a good time just reading things that might be interesting to do.

If they’re willing to pay you what you think you’re worth for it, that’s why an actor goes to work. A lot of times they want to pay you a lot for a picture you don’t want to do.

I know I come off differently than I think of myself. I’m always surprised by what people say about me.
