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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
