As an actor I want to do as many takes as I can. I wanna shoot the scene... or shoot the shot 'til they make me quit.

What appeals to me? There are things, points of view, uses of the language, habits of dress, ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation, no matter what the future may hold.

I don't do anything that is not fun. I just don't do it.

Human beings are glorious and preposterous characters.

I like everything Meryl does. I like watching her come to work.. I don't care.. I like everything about her. I like watching her drink coffee. I don't care what she does.. She can do no wrong in my eyes.

I know a lot of cowboys and I've done a little work on ranches with cattle, and those people become your friends, and keep their word.

I don't see people as groups, I see them as individuals.
