It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.

I have a bag with a toothbrush and toothpaste and all the things i might need during the day. i call the bag my trailer. sometimes you don't have a trailer, so that's my trailer.

You were there all day long, 12 hours a day. so there was none of this, 'i'm going back to my trailer, my trailer's bigger than your trailer,' that kind of hollywood nonsense.
