You can imagine me as a kid growing up in redneck Texas with ballet shoes, tucking the violin under my arm. I had to fight my way up.
I don’t want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don’t want to be the Dance Dude. I don’t want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life, it’d drive me crazy.
The steps aren’t enough. Feel the music.

I’ve never been one to run from a challenge.

If I’m going to do television, I wanted that ‘North and South’ experience. I wanted something that’s going to challenge me on a constant basis.
When it looks like I may live longer than five minutes I’ll drop cigarettes like a hot potato.
I got completely fed up with that Hollywood blockbuster mentality. I couldn’t take it seriously any longer.
I thought it was all over. My lungs were filling with water and I began to black out. Then I saw an ancient warrior rise up out of the water. He said we’d make it, and we did. I believe we all have an angel watching us.
If anybody had that cure out there like so many people swear to me they do, you’d be two things: you’d be very rich, and you’d be very famous. Otherwise, shut up.
I will go so far as to say probably smoking had something to do with my pancreatic cancer.
