I never try to pander to an audience, and I'm really not concerned with my image. I'm far more interested in stretching my abilities as an actor.
I think character is real important. And you know, and I think the public does.
I think there have been more movies in the Western genre than any other. I grew up watching those movies.
I don't feel the obligation to have a big explosion in the first 20 seconds so the audience doesn't turn on another channel. We are trying to make something that looks like a feature film that was bought for television and I think we are succeeding.
Do you like my suit? I think this is an amazing suit, don't you think?
I hate going to the gym, so sweating outdoors sure beats sitting on a stationary bike staring at my navel.
To me, the excitement is in ordering a fine shotgun, going through the process that everybody who has bought one has gone through for 100 years. You order it, you make a significant down payment, and then you wait three or four years for the gun to be custom-made for you.
I don't think you should do something just to prove to an audience that you can do it, that's way out of your wheelhouse.
I quit 'Magnum' to have a family. It took a long time to get off the train, but I try very hard to have balance, and this ranch has helped me do that.
I haven't made a political statement in quite a long time because, frankly, they get repeated, changed.
My first priority is time with my family.
