Having been trained as a stage actor, and then you go out there and you're on 40,000 acres and you have a horse under you and you're shooting a real gun, you almost don't have to act. It's just really amazing.

Horses have different levels of intelligence and different levels of work ethic.

About once a year, I do these long-distance relays with some friends of mine, and it takes about 27 or 28 hours to complete it.

Different horses have different personalities. They're just like people.

I love the long-form format of television. I love being able to develop a character, over a long period of time.

I feel there’s no need to overstate.

I have a great-great-great-grandfather who was a Confederate cavalry colonel, and I still have his military composite photo on my wall. The chemicals in the photo tint have changed over the years to the point that he looks green. One of my family members apparently still has the piece of paper that listed every thing in his pocket when he got shot.
