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.
I think there have been more movies in the Western genre than any other. I grew up watching those movies.
Good parts should always scare you a little bit, and good parts... you might not get advice to do them.
I think of myself as an actor first, not a sex symbol. Do I think I'm sexy? No, that's someone else's judgment, and I honestly don't think you can try to be sexy and really succeed.
I'm very proud of Quigley and I love playing Jesse Stone. That's not hype. We've got to do about fifty of these, but there are only five books.
He's a fish out of water, which is something I always like to play.
Popularity is the pocket change of history. The true measure is courage. There will never be another Charlton Heston.
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.
