new-york moving dirty
If you've ever tried to move from L.A. back to New York, that's a pretty hard move. You forget how cramped things are in New York. You forget how dirty it is in New York. But, it's been the best move of my life, not necessarily for my career, but for my soul.
horse paid
I love getting paid to ride a horse.
hero thinking villain
I think all of us have a hero and a villain in us.
needs like-you protagonists
You don't need to like your protagonists.
horse real gun
Having been trained as a stage actor, and then you go out there and you're on 40,000 acres and you have a horse under you and you're shooting a real gun, you almost don't have to act. It's just really amazing.
thinking humanity quality
I think the American Western laid down a kind of subject matter that's about following your instinct or following your gut and having a sort of removed quality from your humanity. And I think Clint Eastwood helped to establish that.
distance years long
About once a year, I do these long-distance relays with some friends of mine, and it takes about 27 or 28 hours to complete it.
wall military years
I have a great-great-great-grandfather who was a Confederate cavalry colonel, and I still have his military composite photo on my wall. The chemicals in the photo tint have changed over the years to the point that he looks green. One of my family members apparently still has the piece of paper that listed every thing in his pocket when he got shot.
horse work-ethic different
Horses have different levels of intelligence and different levels of work ethic.
men sometimes crybabies
I can't claim I'm truly a man's man, I'm just as much of a dork and a crybaby sometimes as anybody else.
character care clear
I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.
church want redemption
I don't go to movies for redemption - if I want that, I'll go to church!
believe vacation people
The people who believe that their soul is being crushed by playing a particular role need to take a vacation or check into the looney bin for awhile.
character arbitrary good-and-bad
Good and bad are really arbitrary words when it comes to character.
