I have never taken my career seriously. My only ambition was to grow as an actor.

Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.

Acting is not a science. Anybody who believes that their success exists in relation to their goals is deluding themselves; unless you think of a career in terms of financial goals. I have nothing against Tom Cruise, but he must have a large capacity to deal with the business side of movies.

Why do women get paid less money? It doesn't make any sense.

I love acting, and doing it well matters to me.

Unless a Western's made money - doesn't matter who made the money, doesn't matter what the subject is - if the last one didn't make any money, you can't make another one for a four-year period. Westerns more than any genre.

I respect people who can do both careers, like Will Smith and a couple of other people who have done it, but I just don't know when they sleep.
