[On being an actor] .nothing more than a worker in a service occupation . It's like being a waiter or a gas station attendant, but I'm waiting on 6 million people in a week if I'm lucky.

I need a challenge. I need the intellectual stimulation. I'm a member of a community on each film, working in concert to try to bring an idea to life. It's a great job.

I just don't think of age and time in respect of years. I have too much experience of people in their seventies who are vigorous and useful and people who are thirty-five who are in lousy physical shape and can't think straight. I don't think age has that much to do with it.

I don't take trouble at all to conform a screenplay to my iconography. I don't say, We can't do that - the audience wouldn't accept it. I try to take the limitations of what is required to play a leading character and then screw with them.

I rarely play a real person, because I don't think I'm a good imitator.

The only thing hard about being an actor is being out of work. So, when you get a job - that part ain't hard at all.

The trick of this thing and the beauty of this thing is that it's a cowboy movie first and then stuff happens. Even after stuff happens it doesn't change - it hasn't suddenly changed into another kind of movie. It's still a cowboy movie. And that's what's incredible about it because nobody has done that before, that's new territory.
