I'm a good son, a good father, a good husband - I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. I'm a good friend. I finished college, I have my education, I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize the kind of characters that I play on screen, I go, 'You know, that's part of history.'

The only thing I've kind of missed is finding a really good western that I want to do, because I watched westerns a lot.

The Romans had, like other Pagan nations, a nature festival, called by them Saturnalia, and the Northern peoples had Yule; both celebrated the turn of the year from the death of winter to the life of spring - the winter solstice. As this was an auspicious change the festival was a very joyous one... The giving of presents and the burning of candles characterized it. Among the Northern people the lighting of a huge log in the houses of the great and with appropriate ceremonies was a feature.

Anyone who tells you money can't buy happiness never had any.

If you do not have courage, you may not have the opportunity to use any of your other virtues.

I'm as serious as a heart attack.

I don't run around shooting people. Much. I only shoot two people a year. Maybe.
