No, I never thought of it in those terms. I used to go into agents' offices and they'd have pictures of these handsome movie men and I knew I'd never be up there. I'm a journeyman actor. I didn't think about stardom.

My first Western was called The Magnificent Seven.

What is it in my makeup that makes me grab any offer and fly around the world? Will I ever be satisfied? Can't I ever just rest?

But Clint I love, because Clint was my mentor. I knew nothing about making an Italian movie.

Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours. There are only two of us in the play. And It's a complete experience.

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

Even if I don't want to slow down, I'm slowing down.
