All I want is to enter my house justified.

The whole underside of our society has always been violence and still is. Churches, laws - everybody seems to think that man is a noble savage. But he's only an animal. A meat-eating, talking animal. Recognize it. He also has grace and love and beauty. But don't say to me we're not violent.

There is a great streak of violence in every human being. If it is not channeled and understood, it will break out in war or in madness.

Oh, I find it very easy to fall in love.

Yeah, Dundee was great. It was a great film. I fell in love with my Mexican wife on Dundee.

I'm a student of violence because I'm a student of the human heart.

I created 'The Westerner' because of anger - anger at never-miss sheriffs, always-right marshalls, whitewashed gunfighters ... anger at TV's quick-draw tin gods who stand behind a tin star or ten cents' worth of righteous anger and justify their skill and slaughter with a self-conscious grin or a minute's worth of bad philosophy.
