Hopefully you marry someone who you not only love, but who you like as well.
All I see is people out there who are hungry for more.
I had a strong, really good upbringing, not puritanical.
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 think television has always been one to replicate when something’s successful.
Popularity is the pocket change of history. The true measure is courage. There will never be another Charlton Heston.
I realized I really liked the screen. I knew it was a challenge, but I wasn’t afraid of risk.

On a day when you’re not feeling so good, you put on a happy face, it’s infectious – these things sound kind of corny and stupid, but this is our life.

And besides, because of all she has accomplished, Barbara Jordan has always been a hero of mine.
The Westerns I like aren’t really comedies. I’m drawn to the scope of them and the land as a central character.
You don’t do characters that are the same as you, otherwise why bother to act?
We judge ourselves by our good intentions, but we’re judged by our last word.
