Everybody likes to win.
What drives me is I love my profession. I love to do it.
I was fortunate in the last century to be in the two biggest hits film-wise, 'Godfather I' and 'Godfather II,' and 'Lonesome Dove.'
I've always liked country music. It's a certain aspect of America that goes back to the British Isles and the influence is very native to America.
When you dance tango fast, you have to think slow.
You get below the Mason-Dixon line and you have some of the best music, culture, the two races, the literature, and it's so rich.
As long as they keep offering me some good parts and so forth - there are some parts out there that fit me pretty well - I'll keep going for a while.
Well, it's like my movie, 'The Apostle.' Some people in the North don't get that movie. They think that, in the South, if you don't shout, you can't play one of those guys.
My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.
The greatest king of Israel, King David, the author of the Psalms, sent a man out to die in battle so that he could sleep with his wife.
To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.
There's no smoking section in heaven.
When you shift the gear and that little needle on the tach goes into the red and reads 9,000 rpm, that's bad.
I'm a man without a corporation.
