No one wants to see a hero have to pick up his cane to hit someone, but I'm still quite fit enough to fake it.

I was never that much a focus of interest in my career. I'm aware of that now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.

You know how a woman gets a man excited? She shows up.

I haven't purposefully set out to play heroes. I'm interested in playing the character who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances. But he's really either just saving himself or acting in the service of something that's important to him.

I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.

The trick of this thing and the beauty of this thing is that it's a cowboy movie first and then stuff happens. Even after stuff happens it doesn't change - it hasn't suddenly changed into another kind of movie. It's still a cowboy movie. And that's what's incredible about it because nobody has done that before, that's new territory.

What I observed about my fellow actors was that most gave up very easily.
