I’ve been obsessed with clothes since I was a little boy.

I come from a long line of staunch Irish Catholics.

The world’s philosophers and theologians searched for answers to the same mysteries.

So for Bullitt, I just put my black hat back on.

Why do people embrace God? In my opinion, belief in God and an afterlife is a necessary extension of man’s need to feel that this life does not end with what we call death.

My belief in God is responsible for what I am… How can I refuse to talk about something which is so much a prt of my life both as a man and as a actor?

While at college, I did my first lead on a network TV show, Medic.

All I did was basically play myself in the role of Napoleon Solo.

I read Superman comics when I was a kid.

I sincerely believe I could have wounded up in a lot of trouble if I had not been taught as a boy to fear Hell, and to believe that certain wicked acts could lead me...

For example, I tend to personally reward myself for specific acts of exceptional discipline.

The marvelous thing is that for thousands of years people have continued questioning and searching and ultimately concluding that reasons for certain occurrences are not given to man to know.

My opposition to the Vietnam War. I was the first Hollywood actor to speak out against it.

When you’re a guest star on TV shows – particularly in the 1960s – you’re always the villain.

I’m still very close friends with his first wife, Neile, who is now remarried.
