I try to please myself. I don't try to anticipate what people want to see.

Westerns aren't about the gunfight, even though it has to be there at one point. It's not what they're about, at least the good ones. It's about the drama. It's about the resourcefulness of men and women.

I'm only interested in being a good actor and in being remembered for my best films, not for the way I look. But it seems inevitable in this line of work that I have to care about the way I look without getting obsessed about it.

I'm in a position where whatever I do, I can get my head handed to me. I'm in a position to fail because there is a whole group of people out there who want me to fail. It's a weird vibe.

I am a really writer-oriented actor.

I stand up for what I believe. I don't know if it's always paid off for me, because I've been ridiculed and humiliated.

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.
