When I was getting close to being accepted for pilot training, I was allowed to get in a jet airplane.

Let me be the first to tell you, drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.

Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen.

I got my first job as a card-carrying actor in New York in 1967. Before that, I was a very desperate wannabe.

I think you take a job, you owe it as much passion as the job itself demands. And most jobs demand that you be totally committed.

I am passionate about what is going on with the oceans, mainly because we are for some idiotic reason, really screwing it up. I mean, we're really killing the ocean. It's like putting out the sun. Without it, there is no us.

My approach to acting is that I am totally intuitive. I read the script and I get it. If I don't get it, I can't do it.
