Obviously having my family and being able to hold my kids a month ago with that Super Bowl trophy was one that you'll always remember.

I didn’t realise I’m the oldest ever! So I just about made it, huh? Because you can’t be dead and win … If you’re a winner of the National Inventors Hall of Fame you can be dead. I won that prize a couple of years ago and I was very proud of that. That is the most, I would say, most important prize I’ve won.

I’m most proud that, after all I’ve been through, God has let me be alive and well today, and still with June Carter.

The way I see it, there were two great triumphs, two things that I'm proudest of. One is the economic recovery, in which the people of America created -- and filled -- 19 million new jobs. The other is the recovery of our morale. America is respected again in the world and looked to for leadership.

But I was supported by an incredibly strong crew, many of whom I’ve known for years from having worked in New Zealand. It was a very collaborative effort.

I just thought I was going to go into graphics and painting, which is what I wanted to do.

I am a workaholic. I love what I do, but I am aware that it can become obsessive.

When I became a professional actor I was fortunate to be given my first job there by a director called Jonathan Petherbridge.…He instilled in me a way of thinking about acting, which was about as far away from it being a vain occupation as possible, in that drama has significant possibilities for change in society, however small.

I want you to make bold decisions. I want you to make your own choices.
