appeal enjoy given joy playing sports stone sunday
I enjoy sports. I get a real joy from playing sports but I don't look for those movies. Oliver Stone wanted to know if I would do Any Given Sunday and it just didn't appeal to me.
I was sucked into this vortex of a very conservative upbringing.

Conventional wisdom is so scary because what if everybody's wrong?
currently older stage
I think that now I am older I could take the story a stage further, which is an idea I am currently working on
storytelling western
The western will always be here. And it just depends on how good you make one. And one movie doesn't kill it. And one movie doesn't preserve it. It's storytelling. It's a very American thing. I'll continue to do it.

You know, what if everybody's wrong in life? And so you have to live your life yourself.
truth-is
The truth is, I just want do things that are original and throw an original spin on them.

I've never had that fear of going against the grain.
live-life granted express-yourself
You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.
things-in-life want cool-things
It's such a cool thing in life to get what it is you want. Most of the time we don't, but occasionally we do.

If it's going to be wrecked, I want to make sure I wreck it.
dice rolling havens
I haven't tried to buffer myself. I like rolling the dice.
mistake careers listening
I've been evolving in my stunt career Stunts have always had their place, and I have to measure them now. I've done things where, if I make a mistake, I could die. You really need to look at each thing. That usually is a mechanical failure. So, I have gone from doing everything, to listening and saying, "Maybe I shouldn't do this."
