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.

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

I love getting paid to ride a horse.

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 don't know how to put on any tough guy pretensions.

The people who believe that their soul is being crushed by playing a particular role need to take a vacation or check into the looney bin for awhile.

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.
