Some people come to you because if you're in their movie, it'll help them raise money. And some people come to you because they think you're the person to play the part.

I've had some movies that have been ridiculed, but that's OK with me. I don't feel that really defines me. Should I change who I am to be popular?

If somebody said my wife's not beautiful, I'd go, she is. I wouldn't say, really? No, she is. I know she is. In my mind, you know.

Sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them.

I don't go against the grain because I'm a contrary person.

I think it's hard for people to suspend the era they live in and understand the decisions that had to be made often during the western frontier era were life and death. You had to be resourceful and on your feet to try to figure out somebody. You didn't have the benefit of knowing who somebody was.

When I do a Western, I often wonder what I would have really done in that situation.
