The whole cable-TV original programming just changed the nature of television.

I think the American Western laid down a kind of subject matter that's about following your instinct or following your gut and having a sort of removed quality from your humanity. And I think Clint Eastwood helped to establish that.

I love the process of acting, simply because I like to play make believe. But for me, it is purely make believe and it is a process of playing.

Life fundamentally does not change depending on work or fame or success.

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.

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

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.
