And besides, because of all she has accomplished, Barbara Jordan has always been a hero of mine.
But I drink red wine with fish. It just doesn't bother me. I know the difference. I can play the game. But red is what I like.
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.
Do you like my suit? I think this is an amazing suit, don't you think?
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 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 feel the other element of a western is the land, which is very important in this movie. I mean the land is another character in the piece, actually.
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 had a strong, really good upbringing, not puritanical.
I live a pretty simple life.
I love big, oaky California Cabernets.
I praise CBS for taking a risk, which is always the price you pay for opportunity. This is not standard movie of the week storytelling. I think movies of the week have fallen into a niche and that isn't my niche.
I realized I really liked the screen. I knew it was a challenge, but I wasn't afraid of risk.
I think a lot of Magnum was me.
I'm very proud of Quigley and I love playing Jesse Stone. That's not hype. We've got to do about fifty of these, but there are only five books.
I've learned by hanging out in Hollywood, where I disagree politically with most people, that most people's hearts are in the right place, and the only thing we have to argue about is the way to solve the problems.
I've never reacted well to other people telling me what to do.
If I can be an advocate of individualist solutions to our society's problems that are affirmative solutions, that's to me what conservatism means.
If you buy an expensive thing and you never use it, I don't think there's a point to it.
It is scary for an actor when you get hired as a lead. No matter what the plot is, it is your job to do something interesting enough to make them want to get inside the lead character's head.
It's just time to reassess things and say that maybe this idea of the common good has to be translated through the individual.
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.
Most of the time I smoke Havanas.
Movies do change, and I think mostly, should change from books because it's just a totally different way of storytelling.
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.
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.
Shooting clay targets is a very cleansing experience. It's very relaxing. It takes a lot of concentration. It's also very social, since you're usually shooting with friends. You can talk and forget about almost anything else that's on your mind.
Son, never throw a punch at a redwood.
There was a time I could have been mistaken for Burt Reynolds. I had a moustache and so did he. But he was the number one star in the world, so there wasn't really much confusion.
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.
What conservatism represents to me is civil libertarian thought. To me, it's as simple as this: We all agree we need to solve social problems. My leanings tend toward individualist solutions. I don't like to characterize anybody, but I think liberals tend to have collectivist solutions.
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.
You know I grew up watching the TV series The Rifleman.
You know, there's so much imitation and so much pandering in Hollywood.
