(Before getting into acting) I was on an airplane 7 days a week, 10 months out of the year for 23 years. I wanted off the road. I knew that nothing would ever happen for me while I was on the road, so in 1976 made the decision to get off the road and pursue an acting career. I did it at the right time. Show less «

National Lampoon's Vacation was early in my career. When I read that script, I actually laughed out loud alone in my room. I had no clue it would have the impact it has. I cannot go through an airport without someone coming up to me and asking to say my lines from "Vacation", you know, "ALL OF IT, BOY". We shot that in Cayenta, AZ. A few years ago, I was on the Kyle Petty Motorcycle Ride Across America. We stopped in Cayenta for gas and I pointed out our shoot location to Richard and Kyle Petty. It was right across the street. Pretty cool to go there again. Show less «

(On working with Arnold Schwarzenegger) Arnold is the classiest guy I have ever met, let alone, worked with. I love Arnold. A few weeks after I got home from Mexico City, where we shot Total Recall, I got a large envelope in the mail with the return address reading, SCHWARZENEGGER. I guess the post office knows where he lives. Inside were several photos of Arnold and me doing scenes together. He signed them and sent them to me. He did this jest completely unsolicited... A CLASS ACT! Show less «

I dreamed of being an actor when I was 8 years old but I did not believe that this kid in Texas would ever have the opportunity. I was at the movie with my dad when I was 8 and remember asking myself, "I wonder how you get to do that?" It seemed so far away. After I moved to Los Angeles and got to know a number of actors and people in the business, I then believed I could do it. I say, "Never give up". I was tired of going to the airport everyday on concert tours. I just had to get off the road so I gave up a great career to try and get in a business that I loved but starting at the bottom.
