At one point, they wanted me at the end wounded, and in a wheelchair and crutch like Anthony Hopkins in Legends of the Fall. I said I'm not doing that movie.
The money part is one of the most difficult things. Coppola always said I should do a tango movie. If it hadn't been for him, I don't know where we would have gotten the money.
I love working in Texas anywhere.
There's no right or wrong just truthful or untruthful.
Some people say, 'Do you have any theories on acting?' And I say, well maybe: I think you can start with zero and end with zero. You don't have to go anywhere, you don't have to go for the result.
I would like to ask each of you: Would you be in favor of some kind of education on birth control and if so, how would you use that as a possible solution to the ever present question of abortion.
What drives me is I love my profession. I love to do it.
My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.
When you shift the gear and that little needle on the tach goes into the red and reads 9,000 rpm, that's bad.
Although it wasn't that easy to do, it was wonderful working with John Wayne.
I take a vitamin every day; it's called a steak.
Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.
