I started out wanting to coach football.

I have twin boys, 12, and a daughter, 17.

I learn the whole script before I show up.

I have done a series in the '60s, '70s and '80s.

I just turned 66, and I'm starting to work again.

Doing a series, every week you work with a new star.

But I was still hoping to be able to coach and teach.

I worked for the recreation and parks department for a year.

For 40 years, I put my body through a tremendous amount of work.

And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.

I think I've got one more series in me, and I don't care what it is.

So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.

I thought I'd gone to heaven, because I grew up watching Roy and Gene Autry

Knee replacement is serious stuff. And it actually could have made me worse

I thought I'd gone to heaven, because I grew up watching Roy and Gene Autry.

The Six Million Dollar Man was one thing, but I wanted to keep my own parts.

I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.

I've never minded my kids watching any of the series I did. That's important to me

Clint Eastwood's a good friend, too - he and I used to play in softball games together.

It's being in the right place at the right time and taking advantage of your opportunities.

Then I got a bad back injury, and they thought I wasn't going to have any feeling in my legs.

Even when I was young, playing college football, and I injured my knee, I bounced right back.

I had no idea how big the show was at the time we were doing it because I was always working.

I did a few more plays, and then I went to L.A., because I knew I could get a coaching job there.

I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.

Acting is a tough business, and the percentage of people who make it is very low - it's about 1 percent.

I figured my body always would be able to repair itself. I think all of us believe that - until you begin to age and get hit with deteriorating joints.

I've had disappointments and heartbreaks and setbacks and roles I didn't get, but something always came along that either made me better or was an even better role.

My fiancee and I recently eloped. We went on a fabulous honeymoon to Europe, and I was able to see and do everything I wanted without worrying about taking it easy.

I've never seen a schedule where you just go in two hours almost every day of the week and then all day on one day. Then you shoot it at night with an audience and you're out of there.

Why is the world round? Why do the suckas bite? Why do the freaks come out at night? Why they paint Jesus white? I sit and wonder why we breakin hip-hop laws, Doing videos in houses that we know ain't yours.

It seems to me like all these people claim to be the victim, Acting like the whole entire world is out to get them. Stand up on your own, And prove that you are grown, Because the life that you save may be your own.
