(asked whether the Native American Indians should be allowed to camp on their land at Alcatraz) Well, I don`t know of anybody else who wants it.

They should pay as much for Alcatraz as we paid them for Manhattan. I hope they haven`t been careless with their wampum.

For some reason, my whole life has been, `You can`t do this, you can`t do that.` The other day I was watching these kids crossing the road, and they have these crossing guards, kids who help other kids across the road.

They thought I was too wild, but I knew I was responsible enough, if I was given that task.

I`m the luckiest man in the world and I don`t want to hide from the faces I`m acting for. So I don`t surround myself with guards, I`ve never given an interview in which I`ve said I feel bad that I can`t go shopping or I can`t go to Chowpatty and eat bhelpuri without being mobbed. I`m not the kind of guy who goes out wearing dark glasses (I don`t think I`m a big enough star to hide behind them, honest). I go to see movies in the cinema theatres, I go to restaurants with my family and friends even though I know people are going to disturb me there.

I think that Green Bay actually - and I don`t like this because you love Brett Favre - I think they almost are leading him toward retirement. You took away two of his anchors on the offensive line, two of the great offensive guards in this league. So he`s going to get the kind of pressure that we haven`t seen him get in the past. He`s going to be in games where defensively you know he is going to be in shootouts where he has to throw rather than when he wants to throw. He`s going to be throwing all the time.
