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

We judge ourselves by our good intentions, but we're judged by our last word.

Which to this day is a source of enormous guilt, because I left with three classes to go in the business school to sign a contract with 20th Century Fox.

Risk is the price you pay for opportunity.

On a day when you're not feeling so good, you put on a happy face, it's infectious - these things sound kind of corny and stupid, but this is our life.

If a guy as good and decent with as much grace as Chuck Heston can stand up for an issue that I think is very important ... then I certainly could stand up and I plan on remaining a life member for life.

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