Our Family Really Didn't Have A Car;

All Of The Younger Actors Keep Coming Up To Me And Asking Me Where All Of The Land Mines Are Because They Know I've Stepped On Them All.

We Got Sally Field Onboard [in Smokey And The Bandit] And It Changed The Entire Dynamic. About A Third Of The Way Into Filming, I Was In The Car With Sally And There Was This Little Moment Where We Kind Of Looked At Each Other, And Then We Both Turned And Looked Over At Hal [needham]. He Gave Us A Thumbs Up And Said, "yeah!" And We Kind Of Knew There Was Some Magic Going On.

If I Want To Be Up For An Academy Award, I'm Either Going To Have To Play A Tour De Force Of Some Kind Or Have A Tracheotomy Just Before The Nominations.

I Had Known Hal [needham] For A While By The Time He Moved In, So I Was Sure We'd Get Along Well, And We Did. He'd Go Off And Do His Gigs And I Would Do Mine, And When We Were Lucky We Got To Work On The Same Ones.

I Had An Indian Scout Motorcycle During High School, But I Never Could Take It To School. My Dad Would Sneak Out At Night And Pull The Spark-plug Wires.
