There is no 'Top Gun 2' in which Maverick is not the starring role.
Somebody asked me what do you regret. I said, well I was offered the role of Maverick in 'Top Gun' and I turned it down.
[The Man] was a case where it was a funny role teamed up with another actor. It's a great teaming. And the role was a bigger role. It wasn't so much that it was a co-starring role. This is not a new direction. I'm not saying, 'No. I'm only now co-starring.' It just happens it's a co-starring role.
Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.
Christianity makes of life a moral drama in which we play a starring role and in which the most ordinary events take on a grand significance.
It was a fun film. I had a great time doing it. I was looking for a role just like that for my first movie role. I didn't want to have a starring role, because I wanted a chance to learn. I didn't want the whole thing riding on me.
Someone once described me as a maverick and that's what I would say. I'm a maverick not by choice but by conviction.
I'd much rather turn down a starring role in a bad picture and do a small role in a very good picture.
The characters I've played, especially Bret Maverick and Jim Rockford, almost never use a gun, and they always try to use their wits instead of their fists.
I'm a maverick. I've always been a maverick.
If you offer me a starring role in a movie, I have no interest.
It was not easy to get even a small role in a film although my father was a very big name in the industry. Finally, I got a very small role as Simran's brother in 'Seema Simham,' starring Balakrishna.
If you get to the point in your career where you're running with a gun - I've yet to run with a gun. I've stood still with a gun, and I've walked with a gun, but I've never run with a gun. Running with a gun, to me, that's when you know you've really made it.
My dream job would be starring in a lead role on a Broadway musical.
I was born in 1950, so there were tons of Westerns on TV by the time I was 6, 7, 8 years old. In terms of television, 'Maverick' and 'Have Gun - Will Travel.' But filmically, classics like 'High Noon' and 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' - that's one of my favorite films.
Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.
The whole world loves a maverick and the whole world wants the maverick to achieve something nobler than simple rebellion.
