When you draw a western correctly, you create such drama, such dilemma that you think you almost don't want to admit who you might have been.

I deal with pressure. I have a tendency to probably be at my best under pressure.

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 can't say I really see much difference between my son and daughters except that my girls will occasionally make me a sandwich and my son won't.

I don't like definitions. I like four-hour movies.

I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances, but they wouldn't do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched.
