There are some directors I should have worked with. I`d like to have worked with Robert Altman - I turned him down a couple of times when I was younger. My thing now is if it`s a good director I`ll never say no - I`m just gonna say yes from now on.

I love that Bob Dylan asked me to be in the first movie he wrote.

My father was raised in the mountains of New Mexico, and he picked cotton for a dollar a day. He was working for the family from the time he was 7.

New Mexico is my home. It has never been anything but home. The ranch has rivers and canyon, everything imaginable. I can ride, hunt and fish. At the same time, ranching is grueling, difficult work. It`s like acting, to be successful at it, you have to work hard. I take it very seriously.

It is a weird thing that actors have people applaud when they're done working. I still find that entertaining.

My perception is that I've never done anything but work really hard.

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