“You miss that guy but then suddenly you’re working with him again maybe somewhere.”

I think that by now, in the very beginning when I first joined the show, General Landry was like a new kid in school.

Sometimes that can be unfortunate because the work call is pretty intense and the preparation for it.

I have a movie coming out that I did with Misha Barton, called Don’t Fade Away.

And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.

But when I’m done with the job I can take it off pretty easy, it’s like a suit of clothes, put on something else.

I’ve done a number of these My Name is Earl shows. I play Earl’s father. It’s a half-hour comedy. And I’ll be doing some more of those.

Part of the western movement is this desire that we, Americans, have to keep pressing on.

I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers… I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.

I was coming into a situation I didn’t really know much about, and now, after a couple of years, the character’s kind of mellowed and gotten comfortable working at the command center and very comfortable with his troops.

On the other side, if Im playing a good guy, then he has some problems too. Thats what makes people interesting, in life and in fiction.

I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.

I think, I would guess most people keep secrets.

If your focus is there, then the actual doing of the job will be fun and enjoyable. But if you’re so involved in trying to be interesting and a character and everything when you’re not working, it can get in the way and people get goofed up.

As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I’ve been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.

Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom.

I appeared several times on Atlantis while I was doing Stargate. And they’ve mentioned to me before that they’d like me do some, but right now I have nothing specific to report.

I can’t build myself by beating somebody down.

When somebody says the best thing you can do is be tough, the best thing you can do is use your brute force, then we’re selling ourselves short.

So for Europeans we are like Belgiums in the Congo, or the French in Alger, or the British in India. Strange interlopers in somebody else’s land. But in fact, we [Israeli] have been here for 4,000 years. This is our ancestral homeland.

You don’t smear somebody as a racist when there is obviously nothing there.

A leaf, a star, a song, a laugh. Notice all the little things, because somebody is reaching out to you. Qualcuno ti ama. Somebody loves you.

If we don’t do it, somebody else will. The Chinese, the Europeans and the Japanese all have the goal of going to the moon. Certainly we don’t want to wake up and see that they have a base there before we do.

If you don’t have a plan, you become part of somebody else’s plan.

If I could start with anybody, I would initially draft Tom Brady. Then I would go get Ray Lewis, and then maybe an offensive lineman, or somebody like Adrian Peterson.
