I travel so much on stories, so I don't take vacation much, but one place I go back to again and again is my ranch.

If you're a producer, you always spend too much money because you want that shot - and you're willing to spend a bundle to get it.

My personal philosophy is I'm running a 100-yard dash, and I haven't reached the end.

I think I'm so old I'm in. We call it the 'Tony Bennett Syndrome.' For some reason, young people think I'm cool.

First of all, I'm a Midwesterner, being from Kansas, and Chicago is basically a big Midwestern cow town. It was built from the stockyards, and everyone is very friendly, and it's at the edge of the tallgrass prairie. There's just a good feel to it.

I never wanted to retire. I wanted to kind of shift my work pattern so I could stay fresh and invigorated, and use the experience that I had gained in 30 years, but in a slightly different direction.

Movie stars and singers never fully pass away because their images are replayed on film and recordings, over and over.
