Sometimes I`ll wake up in the middle of the night and I`ll hear a voice that sounds familiar...my wife has fallen asleep with the tube on, and I`ll finally start recognizing the dialogue, look up, and Jesus Christ, it`s me at 14, or 12, or 9, or whatever. Sometimes I`ll sit there and watch it and I can tell myself what`s coming next...I remember the dialogue, the scene and the set very well, and then there`ll be a part of the picture I never remembered at all. Because there were times as a kid, as a teenager especially, when I`d be terribly occupied with what I was doing -- with my boat, or on a circuit of rodeos and horseshoes, or with my car -- very often on some of this stuff when I`d have to go to work. I`d just give the script a cursory glance. I had no training, and I was a quick study, so nobody knew how involved or not involved I was. But I look at that stuff now and I can see I wasn`t involved, and I wasn`t very good."
