I like doing movies with kids in them, and you're explaining things. They're teaching you and you're teaching them, and the audience can loop through that.
The only morality in a cruel world is chance.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.
There are different reasons to make movies.
I think they are very important because westerns have a code and a symbolism.
I always ask, why can't I be just like Cary Grant or something.
Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.
But I guess I like playing flawed guys 'cause it gives a place for the characters to go.
I owned a 1972 Plymouth Valiant that we bought for $125. It was infested with cockroaches and geckos - it was its own little ecosystem.
Filmmaking is a difficult process. There are the logistics of making a film. You have to do your part, and then change the entire thing around to do someone else's part. A lot of the magic is lost, in between that, and you have to figure out how to get it back.
It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll do whatever you have to do to get it.
Through all the relationship stuff I've gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures.
I'm sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.
I've not made a career of being physical in my movies, but I love sports. I'm a very physical guy.
