You have to trust your body to take care of you.

You can't be a victim and heal.

If I'm not living from my heart, I get sick.

I have a great life and I'm super active.

I feel very meditative when I ride. A horse does not know whether my movie is a hit or a flop or what is happening in my relationship.

I remember the first time I walked on that stage. Maxine and I were just a duet at the time, and we walked on that stage and did 'Looking Back to See.' Ernest Tubb introduced us at the time. I remember my knees were shaking.

I'm retired from the daredevil business.

Ending poverty calls for humility, honesty, freedom from ideology and refusal to accept cruel simplicities about anyone's human potential. It requires listening to the wisdom and cutting the nonsense from both the Right and the Left.

They'll invite you to all the parties, but that doesn't mean you have to go all the time.

The first day I start shooting, I start having a recurring nightmare that every single night that I am lying in bed, and there is a film crew surrounding the bed, waiting for me to tell them what to do, and I don't quite know what movie I am supposed to be making.
