I don't like to be talked into anything. I don't want to be cajoled.

I think all actors are supposed to be character actors.

I'd love to do a Western. A real Western like John Ford used to do. There's not too many of them made, so I don't know if I'll ever get to do that. They're awfully hard movies to make.

You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.

I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that's just not the case.

I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?

I don't know if I have a technique. I'm just trying to remember the words.
