My first priority is time with my family.
I haven't made a political statement in quite a long time because, frankly, they get repeated, changed.
I quit 'Magnum' to have a family. It took a long time to get off the train, but I try very hard to have balance, and this ranch has helped me do that.
Saber River was a darker story. That character was at a darker point in his life and was carrying a secret that was kind of eating away at him.
He's a fish out of water, which is something I always like to play.
Obviously, it's one passion of mine. I mean, I don't always want to do westerns, but it's nice to always kind of have one in the works.
For a character with longevity, you have to have that.
I've got nothing against this particular set of candidates, but I do think we're not seeing enough of who they are, ... We're kind of seeing who they and their handlers think we want them to be.
It's intimidating to play the nominee for president. The little kid inside you says, 'I'm not enough.' I would guess that happens to politicians, too. They go, 'C'mon, who am I kidding? I'm just this guy or this woman,'
I don't feel the obligation to have a big explosion in the first 20 seconds so the audience doesn't turn on another channel. We are trying to make something that looks like a feature film that was bought for television and I think we are succeeding.
I think there have been more movies in the Western genre than any other. I grew up watching those movies.
I think character is real important. And you know, and I think the public does.
I never try to pander to an audience, and I'm really not concerned with my image. I'm far more interested in stretching my abilities as an actor.
Good parts should always scare you a little bit, and good parts... you might not get advice to do them.
