• "Every time you think you got it made, old Mother Nature kicks you in the scrotum."
• On his roles as Tony Baretta and Father Noah Hardstep in "Baretta," and "Hell Town," respectively: "There are more similarities than differences. They both care a lot about people and they both get impatient with the system if the system seems to be keeping them from doing their jobs. And they both ain't afraid to do a little scuffling to get the job done."
• Commenting on his difficult childhood and finding success as an actor: "Being locked in the closets and beat up and burned and sexual stuff - and to come out from under it - I mean, it's lovely. I mean, most people like me end up on death row, or in the graveyards, or in prison."
