ERIC ROBERTS

I'm really good with fighting with my feet.

And then I bought my own horse, which I had until it died.

My first four roles were all nice guys, Raggedy Man being one of them.

I think maybe Mr. Sinise and Mr. Bacon have slightly bigger egos than I do.

But the thing about bad guys is that they have the biggest bosomed blond, they have great clothes and cars, and get great death scenes.

Well, I quit smoking three weeks ago and I had a hard day today not smoking.

But I can't remember who is in my CD player now.

Yeah, some of my college friends and I have been tinkering around for years, you know, just for fun.

And I'm as attached to my wife as anybody can be to another human being.

As I've gotten older I look like a man, finally.

I'm a real bore.

But if you love animals for all the right reasons- and that's just love and affection- then you're going to go after animals who need you.

Sylvester Stallone is very funny and he's a great guy to hang out with.

I ride my horses three to four times a week.

The earth is a great big orphanage for most animals.

I have a movie coming out called Spun, which will be at the Toronto Film Fest.

My wife and I have so much fun when we travel and find anything... like stray cats and squirrels.

Years later I made a movie with Wayne Newton, who has Arabians.

We consider all our animals to be our kids.

I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.

We loved being in Russia and would love to go back again, especially to visit my namesake.

The point of my explanation is I'm very subjective when it comes to describing my characters: they are all a little bit a part of me from the outside in or the inside out - but to put your mind at ease, I built Paul Snider from the outside in.

Sometimes movie-making happens like clockwork; other times, like a car accident.

I love working with women - I love women - and we need more women directors. We need more feminine sensibilities in movies.

What fun that is, doing voices. I would do them every day if they wanted me to. It's so much fun to go to work and not shave and wear your tennis shoes and your gym clothes. As opposed to having to shave, shower, go to the gym, look good, get ready, go to makeup and hair, and all that stuff. I love doing voices. It's just so relaxing.
