Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic.

Look, Hollywood's a mecca, but it's not the final answer. You pick up a camera anyplace in the world, you can make a movie.

I wouldn't mind starting to ride some more if I had a really good horse to just work a little bit with every day.

Well, it's like my movie, 'The Apostle.' Some people in the North don't get that movie. They think that, in the South, if you don't shout, you can't play one of those guys.

I love going to black churches, and I love some of these black preachers. The best preacher I ever saw in my life was a 93-year-old in a black church in Hamilton, Virginia. What a preacher!

You have a little bit of feeling for everyone you play.

There's a lot of ignorance in our business... Everybody's an authority. To have your own vision is rewarding.
