Actors and preachers are people who stand up on stage and have no problem talking and they have no problem saying, Listen to me. Follow me. I know what I'm talking about.

I think 20 years of experience really came to fruition and enabled me to be able to play Cotton Marcus.

I'm an ambassador for Best Friends [Animal Society], an incredible organization that's devoted to the welfare of animals - in particular, trying to help make every animal shelter a no-kill shelter. My two dogs were rescues, and I'm a firm believer in finding every dog or cat a home.

Being a part of the crowd with incredible musicians onstage summoning the muse and delivering that to us - doesn't matter if it's an orchestra, two bluegrass banjo pickers, a solo singer, piano player, or Bruce Springsteen - when it all comes together, you can just feel as if you are a part of something bigger and grander than yourself.

I find, however, it's a much more freeing way to live. It certainly beats walking around with the Don't you know who I think I am? voice in your head. I find that only leads me down dark monkey-mind paths and patterns of behavior that benefits no one.

You make a horror film that's not very good. You'd be joining a long line, in a long video aisle, of stuff that doesn't work.

Walking my dogs twice a day provides me with an opening and closing of my day, and I've learned to use those walks for a walking meditation.

I have a lot of appetites and try to revel in almost everything, so inspiration can even come from a well-appointed submarine sandwich, you know?

As much as I'd like to pretend that I'm not performing, I think any actor sometimes has themselves outside of themselves and is trying to direct themselves and control what you're seeing and thinking.

I think any actor will tell you that they always assume they'll never work again, so every job becomes important. But Better Call Saul is a real capstone for me, a once-in-a-career opportunity, I think. I'm so happy they decided to invite me to their party. I can't wait to see where it takes me.

I would love to play the President. Give me the suit, give me the power, give me the oval office. That would be really fun.

When jobs come up, like a low-budget film like The Last Exorcism, you say yes and you see where it takes you.

This is a boyhood dream, but I've always wanted to play the sheriff. I've wanted to be in a Western, in the hat, playing the sheriff.

Wouldn't it be great if we could be a little less judgmental and a little more forgiving of each other's humanness? We're only here a short time. Let's pay more attention to the good and not the bad in one another.

For me, there's still plenty of ground to be covered, as I get older. It's worked out great so far. I take it one job at a time. I'll just keep my eyes toward the next job and see where it takes me.

At some point in my career, I was thinking, Why am I not a star? Why am I not Brad Pitt? Why am I not Tom Cruise?
