I was the tallest guy in the school, and I was very conscious of being larger than anybody - classmates and teachers.

I had the privilege of working with so many great actors over the years.

I was honored to have served in the Army for my country. I was at Anzio during WWII, and it makes you realize how very precious life is.

The kids don't really have any part of my television life. Fortunately, there aren't many times when show business intrudes on our family existence.

Life is all about the friendship and the love and the music. It sounds silly, but it is. I want to have that experience as much as I can as an adult, not as a kid doing something that people are telling her she has to do. If anyone gets in my way, I'm going to get them out of my way.

Love is a great emotion, but I believe it's not just about romance; it could be love for nature, people, for relationships.

I know I'm likeable, but living with me is different. Yes, I can be charming. That desire to please people and learning what to do to charm their socks off is something many of us do. But you get into a relationship, and the party's over at some point. They see the real you.

I was in a comfortable situation, I was on tour, it was cool, but it wasn't at all what I wanted to do. So I had to leave it, start over. My friends were like, ‘You were doing something, now you're back at day one.' So people kind of look at you different when you start over. Everyone needs to challenge themselves like that."
