There Are Things That I Would Like

When I Was Getting Close To Being Accepted For Pilot Training, I Was Allowed To Get In A Jet Airplane. I Sat There Looking At All Those Switches And Dials And I Got The Distinct Feeling That I Was Sitting In The Nose Of Bomb. I Realized My Fantasies Of Flying And Fighting Were Just That - Fantasies.

I Never Think About Awards Or Anything Like That When I Do A Job. I Was First Named A Best Actor When I Was 12 Years Old And It Doesn't Really Mean Anything When You Get Down To It, Because There Is No Best. I Don't Get All That Involved. My Chest Puffs Up As Much As I Can Puff It Up But I Am Not Trying To Be Better Than The Person I Am Acting With. I Am Trying To Be At Least As Good. That's How It Works.

If Your Life Turns Out To Be Good And You Have A Tremendous Amount Of Luck In Your Life, It's A Good Thing To Turn Around And Make It Work For Others.

If You Get Called On To Help Somebody Pull Focus To Some Good Cause, That's Good Use Of Your Fame. I Don't Try To Avoid That.

So We Say, Oh, My Goodness; We Think We've Found Another Earth-like Planet. We Will Start Trying To Figure Out How To Get There. And I Have This Strong Belief That Whatever We Think We Can Do, Whatever We Can Dream, We Can Do.
