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.
Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.
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.
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.
The beginning and the end of the tango are the walk.
Being a star is an agent's dream, not an actor's.
I love the smell of juice boxes in the morning.
To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.
