When I was a kid everyone used to call me pork 'n.

I'd rather have a small part in a good film with good people than play the lead in something I don't really care for.

They gave me the chaps and hat and everything. I looked like a real cowboy. I walked around the rodeo and thought, I am a real cowboy and thought everyone thought I was a real cowboy.

When I was a kid everyone used to call me pork 'n.

I am much more involved in the filmmaking experience on Mag Seven. I'm much more involved in story elements, casting decisions, the writing of the show, the blocking of the scenes.

I don't have a computer. I don't know anything about that. I don't even know what a website is.

I was feeling real good and real manly. Until a real cowboy walked by and told me I had my hat on backwards. So much for my career as a cowboy.

I had a weird situation were someone used my name to extort money from a woman. He took her for 60 or 80 thousand dollars. He is in prison now. It was on Sally.

I grew up in Arizona and have a lot of buddies that are cowpokes.

I would say that one of the things that we are proud of is that we are attracting very interesting guest stars. One is Tyne Daly, who has done a wonderful job.

Right before Mag Seven I did a movie called The Bull Rider.

'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' is a movie that I just find flawless. Jack Nicholson... I just saw 'The Shining' again the other day; he's so brilliant. He's such a brilliant actor, just unbelievable.

'Taxi Driver' is a movie that changed my life and made me a serious actor. Scorsese and De Niro. I give credit for anything that I've ever done as an actor.

'Unforgiven,' I think, is the best Western ever.

As I've always said, 'I'm a lover, not a fighter.' I'm much better with women than I am being tough in a bar!

I don't like gratuitous violence. I don't like the 'Saw' movies. I don't like the 'Hostel' movies. I don't like anything that is violence for violence's sake.

I saw 'Taxi Driver,' and 'Taxi Driver' kind of saved my life. The scene where Robert De Niro is looking at himself in the mirror saying, 'You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Who the hell else are you talkin' to?' That's the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting.

I think I'm prouder of 'The Victim' than anything else, just because, if nothing else, it doesn't look silly, it doesn't look stupid. It holds up. It's fun. A lot of people have enjoyed it, and I'm real happy about it.

I think every director's different. Every director's got his own style. I mean, when I directed, I basically just screamed for eight hours a day, twelve hours a day.

Johnny Ringo to me was just the best antagonist that I've ever played, because I played him as a guy who has a death wish and had done everything that he wanted in life. As far as he was concerned, a gun fight was about as exciting as it was going to get.

My moral compass swings far to the left, but when it comes to gratuitous violence, I have trouble.

The thing about the movie 'Navy SEALs' is that it was just such a waste. The script could've been shaped to be much better, and you just hate to see all that talent and passion go to waste.

To be perfectly honest with you, I was partying a lot in school. I didn't have any good study habits from high school because I just kind of got by on being a jock.

When I first moved out to Los Angeles I was thinking, you know, I wanted to be an actor but I didn't really know what acting was about. I thought if I could be a model, or even do commercials and stuff like that for the rest of my life, I'd be happy.

When I was a kid I used to go to the movies, double features in outdoor theaters, and my parents used to take us to see like, 'Cat On a Hot Tin Roof' or something like that, with Elizabeth Taylor.

If I thought of gymnastics as a job, it would put too much stress on me.

We choose what attitudes we have right now. And it's a continuing choice.

I never had a desire to be a filmmaker. As a child and a teenager and in college, I was not aware of black women making films.

Well for one, the 13th amendment to the constitution of the US which abolished slavery - did not abolish slavery for those convicted of a crime.

The most time I spent home in 2009 was about a month.

It's really interesting that we've had this great Tea Party movement that is all about restoring free market capitalist values, but what they completely fail to understand is that what we've got now is a situation where there is a small class of gigantic financial companies that have put themselves above capitalism.

They are the only people in the world who I can truly trust and rely on. Touring gets really lonely. I guess I have friends around me but when you're paying them can they ever really be true friends?

Americans know that we cannot tax and spend our way out of a recession, yet Democrats can't grasp this simple fact.

I think there's no greater healing power than music.

There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.

I love my kitchen. On the weekends, we have friends over, the kids are buzzing around, and we cook and talk.

There are three types of pitchers you have to deal with. Some, you just have to tell what town they're in, remind them where they are. Some, you remind them about mechanics, and some, you have to bust their tail. You have to make them your friend and have them trust you.

I come from a pretty scientific family. My sister is a neurologist and my brother is an engineer.

Imagine if investors in Wal-Mart really cared about bribery at that company's overseas operations or safety standards at its overseas manufacturing plants. If investors pulled their capital, corporate leaders would have to respond.

I will sacrifice whatever is necessary to be the best.

The minute you try to talk business with him he takes the attitude that he is a gentleman and a scholar and the moment you try to approach him on the level of his moral integrity he starts to talk business.

Courtship is a commitment its a promise not to play games with another persons heart.

I have two ideas for novels at the moment, neither of them all that conventional, but I'm not ready to choose between them yet, let alone settle down to the process of writing.

The secret to failing isnt failing the secret to failing is failing forward.

As I have gotten older, I've discovered the joys of being lazy.

After you get your freedom, your enemy will respect you.

Since we cannot change reality let us change the eyes which see reality.

I will only do a Hollywood film when there is something special offered to me.

Love is whatever you can still betray. Betrayal can only happen if you love.
