“Which to this day is a source of enormous guilt, because I left with three classes to go in the business school to sign a contract with 20th Century Fox.”

“Having had that experience... I think, what modern culture wants to see is the relationship with the woman. I don't think you can tell a story on film nowadays where the woman simply is there for the man when he decides to settle down.”

“I think of myself as an actor first, not a sex symbol. Do I think I'm sexy? No, that's someone else's judgment, and I honestly don't think you can try to be sexy and really succeed.”

“Do you like my suit? I think this is an amazing suit, don't you think?”

“I guess after Dances With Wolves they probably tried some derivative westerns, and if they didn't work, they said the western is dead and moved on to something else.”

“I don't think you should do something just to prove to an audience that you can do it, that's way out of your wheelhouse.”

“אני מחשיב עצמי קודם כל כשחקן, לא כסמל מין. האם אני חושב שאני סקסי? לא, זה שיקול של מישהו אחר, ואני באמת לא חושב שאתה יכול לנסות להיות סקסי ובאמת להצליח.”

“אני חושב שהטלוויזיה תמיד שכפלה משהו שמצליח. אני לא חושב שיש כל כך הרבה חדשנות.”

“אני חושב שהיו יותר סרטים בז'אנר המערבון מכל סרט אחר. גדלתי בצפייה בסרטים האלה.”

“אני לא חושב שאתה צריך לעשות משהו רק כדי להוכיח לקהל שאתה יכול לעשות את זה.”

“זה מפחיד עבור שחקן להתקבל לעבודה בתפקיד ראשי. לא משנה מה העלילה, זה התפקיד שלך לעשות משהו מעניין מספיק כדי לגרום להם לרצות להיכנס לראש של הדמות הראשית.”

“I haven't made a political statement in quite a long time because, frankly, they get repeated, changed.”

“It's not that conservatives don't care. We do. We just have different answers than liberals do. It's a difference of the mind, not of the heart.”

“To me, the excitement is in ordering a fine shotgun, going through the process that everybody who has bought one has gone through for 100 years. You order it, you make a significant down payment, and then you wait three or four years for the gun to be custom-made for you.”

“But, you know there's a lot of westerns - not that they were bad - it's just that they can be remade because they're great stories that aren't indelible in an audience's mind when it comes to both the cast and the story.”

“You know, there's so much imitation and so much pandering in Hollywood.”

“People tracking your life and photographing you anywhere you go, that can make you crazy.”

“You know I grew up watching the TV series The Rifleman.”

“My first priority is time with my family.”

“Television's grown up a lot. It's a little more adult, which I think is a good thing. It allows actors to tell more complex stories. I'm happy to see where it ends up.”
