My first Western was called The Magnificent Seven.

So I wanted to show what I did with the money. So I got red silk shirts, beautiful hats, wonderful saddles, a great horse, and two gold teeth. So that was the way I did it.

My wife says that stage acting is like being on a tightrope with no net, and being in the movies, there is a net - because you stop and go over it again. It's very technical and mechanical. On stage you're on your own.

I've learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.

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

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

I don't act to live. I live to act.
