Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.

Look, Hollywood's a mecca, but it's not the final answer. If you pick up a camera anyplace in the world, you can make a movie.

I always thought of myself as a later bloomer, so I like some of my work more later than earlier.

I love working in Texas anywhere.

When you dance tango fast, you have to think slow.

What drives me is I love my profession. I love to do it.

My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.

I'm a man without a corporation.

You have a little bit of feeling for everyone you play.

Around my own friends, I like to mess around.

A young actor once asked me, What do you do between jobs? I said, Hobbies, hobbies, and more hobbies.

From the cradle to the grave, I always figure that we all have our individual journeys, and maybe my journey was a positive one and I accomplished certain things without stepping on too many toes.

Hollywood is still the mecca for good or bad, but it isn't the beginning or end for filmmaking.

One thing I like about Argentina, they only cook with salt; that's it.

We all have a cradle-to-the-grave journey to make and, in between, what do you do? There's got to be something hereafter.

There's a lot of ignorance in our business... Everybody's an authority. To have your own vision is rewarding.

If you don't have heroes in the beginning, you don't grow.

I hope I left behind a legacy that people will enjoy. But whatever they want to say, I can't predict.

There was nothing wrong with shouting at God.
