Yeah, I'd been around horses most of my life.

I thought bringing those two [Taylor Sheridan and David Mackenzie] together, odds are you're going to come up with something pretty good.

I'm pretty critical of myself as far as reaching some sort of perfect bull's-eye or target that I'm aiming for.

Sometimes I think of movie acting as advanced pretend.

As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.

This is many, many years ago. It was shortly after "Starman" I think. I don't know how close I was to getting the part. I met with [director] Penny Marshall and that's one that I knew would be a hit. It just felt hit-ish. But it's like you go to a store and you see a jacket and you go "I love that jacket" and you try it on and it's too big or too small for you and it's the only one they have. For some reason that part just didn't fit me.
