Duvall has been nominated for four Academy Awards-he's the best we've got, I think-and Close has already won one of them.
Everybody that's an actor leaves it for a while 'cause they ain't got a job.
Hopefully, generations after us will continue to protect, preserve, and look after this wonderful land.
I didn't go to acting school, but I've been observing my fellow man for 66 years now, and I would think that's the best school there is.
I didn't go to high school. I think that after you learn to read and write and do your numbers and flush the toilet behind yourself, you don't need no more schoolin'. You need to get out in the water and swim.
I didn't know Benny Binion well, but he was my hero. Many things about him are admirable to a fella like me, you know. Benny was what I would someday like to become.
I hang on to my lifestyle with my fingernails. And no matter what the government's trying to do to kill us off, I'm gonna stay the way I am.
I live on a ranch in Utah for now, but I'm gonna move. I've got another ranch to move to, but its location is a secret. When I get there, I'm gonna plow the road in behind me.
I love watching a good horse do what he's bred to do-I guess that's what I like the most about it. And I love to see good athletes do what they're bred to do.
I maintain that if there is such a thing as a true and honest environmentalist, it's people like Slim and hopefully me, who have been caretakers of the land all our lives, along with the generations before us.
I raise quarter horses. Mine are mostly thoroughbred cross horses, a little bigger horses than some people like. I sell them or use them on the ranch. A lot of them go to the rodeo arena and some of them go to racetracks.
I resent the fact that people in places like Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco believe that they should be able to tell us how to live our lives, operate our businesses, and what to do with the land that we love and cherish.
I rope steers in team roping events. There's a header and a heeler on a roping team, and I'm the heeler.
I'm a widower with three sons and seven grandchildren. One of my sons is my partner on the ranch.
I'm not anybody's judge; I don't know what motivates people to do what they do. But I have a lot of admiration for anybody who can start with absolutely nothing and make a little something out of it.
I'm very proud of my heritage.
I've already got my rent paid, and it's too late in my life for me to go around talking up stuff that I don't like or believe in.
I've got about $30,000 in chips, not near enough.
I've taken on a little bit of self-discipline that I never had before. In general, I'm looking after myself more. I do the blood tests about five times a day and inject my insulin twice a day, delivered by Liberty, of course.
In the early days, I roped calves. I was a wanna-be-I couldn't beat nobody if they let me bring my own calves, but I sure tried hard.
My saddle horses are my friends. My dogs are my friends.
No, that's poker. To win, you've gotta get damned lucky.
The folks who own this hotel and casino are dear friends of mine. As far as I'm concerned, this is maybe the last old gamblin' joint in this town.
The place was built on the premise that people want to gamble, and they may as well do it here. They look after their clientele, and, hell, they treat me like I'm one of their family.
The tough part isn't doing the work, it's getting the job. I don't know anybody in the world that can't do what I do.
Well, we all are what we are, I guess you might say by an accident of birth.
What I know about poker, you can fit into a thimble with room left over, but I'm learning.
