So we went off and made this movie ["Jim Younger"], and I've gotta tell ya, it's as much fun as I've ever had making a movie. It was kind of like adult summer camp. We put on this Western gear, strapped on our six-shooters, and went out and played cowboy all day! It wasn't an easy shoot.

I think people start rumors because it creates interest and it makes people look at things and become more interested in what they're looking at.

You have to realize that Mel [Gibson], he's a funny guy. He's got a wicked sense of humor.

[David Milch] had say, "You have to understand that our history of western movies, what we've been doing in westerns since the movies began to talk, you had audiences that would be offended by certain things, and there was a cleaning-up of the way people spoke."

This ["Cowboys & Aliens"] was an occasion where a studio was willing to spend a lot of money to make a film set in that time and place, but the hook was that they were also going to have aliens from outer space!

Well you know I've been fan of Tony Hillerman's books for years.

But I love to be outdoors. I prefer being outdoors to, you know, being inside.
