I feel the other element of a western is the land, which is very important in this movie. I mean the land is another character in the piece, actually

Why westerns get segregated into a genre in Hollywood, I don't know... It's just good entertainment.

I had a strong, really good upbringing, not puritanical

Life isn't fair, but you can be.

The Westerns I like aren't really comedies. I'm drawn to the scope of them and the land as a central character.

Hopefully you marry someone who you not only love, but who you like as well.

Television's grown up a lot. It's a little more adult, which I think is a good thing. It allows actors to tell more complex stories. I'm happy to see where it ends up.
