I haven't tried to buffer myself. I like rolling the dice.
I've been around where I knew other actors were going to steal the scene, and I don't compete with them.
When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment, or the moment defines you.
I like American history, so I was aware of the participants and a lot of it.
I don't like definitions. I like four-hour movies.
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.
