The beginning and the end of the tango is the walk.
As long as they keep offering me some good parts and so forth - there are some parts out there that fit me pretty well - I'll keep going for a while.
Cows is one thing. But one man telling another man where he can go in this country is something else.
One thing I like about Argentina, they only cook with salt; that's it.
We all have a cradle-to-the-grave journey to make and, in between, what do you do? There's got to be something hereafter.
Being a star is an agent's dream, not an actor's.
If you don't have heroes in the beginning, you don't grow.
The only thing that might make me stay in bed would be fear. Once I get rest, then I can overcome the fear of a given day and then I'm ready. I'm ready to go. Not that I always have that fear, but sometimes that's the only thing that would keep me in bed more than just the laziness.
I like the smell of toast. Coffee is okay, but I don't drink much coffee. But toast is a nice smell. You smell some toast coming from your kitchen in the morning, you know that you're involved in a domestic situation and the operation that's going on is pleasant.
I wanted to show that crime doesn't pay. If you are saved and accept the Lord, you cannot use that as an excuse to avoid punishment.
I hope I left behind a legacy that people will enjoy. But whatever they want to say, I can't predict.
There was nothing wrong with shouting at God.
Some people say, 'Do you have any theories on acting?' And I say, well maybe: I think you can start with zero and end with zero. You don't have to go anywhere, you don't have to go for the result.
It's a cyclical thing. When they make one, everyone loves them. Different genres come around in succession. People always welcome the western. It's America's genre.
If I ended my career, I wouldn't mind doing a TV series if it was a western and I played a mute gunfighter so I wouldn't have to remember lines every week.
It suits him because way back many years ago when Nikita Mikhalkov, the great Russian director, came, I said, "I want you to meet somebody." So I get Billy Bob from Malvern, Arkansas and Nikita Mikhalkov from Moscow. It's just two big talents meet. We sat for two or three hours and talked. It was great. He's the real deal, this guy.
Seeing your name on the list for KP or guard duty when you're in the Army is like reading a bad review.
Hollywood is still the mecca for good or bad, but it isn't the beginning or end for filmmaking.
You have a little bit of feeling for everyone you play.
I think there are more good young actors now than ever. It's a medium that everyone wants to be connected with - it is such a hip medium going into the 21st century.
I'm a man without a corporation.
I love going to black churches, and I love some of these black preachers. The best preacher I ever saw in my life was a 93-year-old in a black church in Hamilton, Virginia. What a preacher!
I always figure from the cradle to the grave, we all have our individual journeys, and maybe my journey was a positive one and I accomplished certain things without stepping on too many toes.
I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.
But for me, the challenge is how you turn a character into behavior. Once the director says 'action', you just try to live between those two worlds.
