I have a ranch in Montana, but it's not a real working ranch. I've always liked the outdoors. I come from Texas. My grandfather was a farmer; that's as close as I come.

I was a really avid bowler when I was a teenager. I had about a 210-220 average. I had blisters on my fingers.

Everybody just wants to be famous first, and then maybe learn how to act.

You have to have the ability to remake yourself. Whatever that is. Every several years... Every five to 10 years.

I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.

Well, there's two things I have criteria for doing a film: The script, which is the story, and the filmmaker, and it's a filmmaker's medium. I like really strong directors, and so when I do a film, I'm out there to serve the director, really, which is in turn to serve the script, to serve the director cause he's the one making the film. I relied on Todd Haynes for that.

I try to be eclectic in my choice of films. If I've done anything that's intentional in my career, it's to try to do as many different types of characters and as many different types of genres of movies that I can.
