That's so important for children when they're growing up, to have a strong male role model.

My mother was a leading lady in a local theatre in Birmingham, Alabama, where I grew up.

I wasn't a child who wanted to be an actor.

Most of the performances I see on TV and in movies are so self-conscious and overacted. I would think a natural actress would be welcome.

You're not just going out there, maybe sacrificing your own life. There's also sacrifices still going on at home. You can serve in the military and have a good marriage, but you just need to be aware of it so you can take those steps to take care of it.

I have been doing marriage counseling for about 15 years and I realized that what makes one person feel loved, doesn't make another person feel loved.

Back in the Seventies, we had a romantic, poetic vision of the future, like it was in the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey.' It felt as if everything was still ahead of us.

There are so many romantic comedies made, but very few dramas or love stories. And with a love story, you have to take time to develop three-dimensional characters.
