I guess after Dances With Wolves they probably tried some derivative westerns, and if they didn't work, they said the western is dead and moved on to something else

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.

The two things that will defeat a lot of young actors are fear of failure and lack of preparation. With acting, I didn't have a problem with either one - but somehow I didn't equate either one of them to the academic world.

Im a registered independent with a lot of libertarian leanings.

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

Risk is the price you pay for opportunity.

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