Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.

I've always liked country music. It's a certain aspect of America that goes back to the British Isles and the influence is very native to America.

The idea is that one's temperament improves with age; that you learn to deal better with people and become more benevolent and loving. That's not necessarily true. I try to stay loose but sometimes the best thing to do is get yourself away and take a good nap.

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

I hope I left behind a legacy that people will enjoy. But whatever they want to say, I can't predict.

There's no smoking section in heaven.
