I realized I really liked the screen. I knew it was a challenge, but I wasn't afraid of risk

I had a strong, really good upbringing, not puritanical

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.

You know I grew up watching the TV series The Rifleman.

All I see is people out there who are hungry for more.

You don't do characters that are the same as you, otherwise why bother to act?

I live a pretty simple life.
