More quotes by Keith Carradine
This [Cowboys & Aliens] was an occasion where a studio was willing to spend a lot of money to make a film set in that time and place, but the hook was that they were also going to have aliens from outer space!

So we went off and made this movie [Jim Younger], and I've gotta tell ya, it's as much fun as I've ever had making a movie. It was kind of like adult summer camp. We put on this Western gear, strapped on our six-shooters, and went out and played cowboy all day! It wasn't an easy shoot.

[David Milch] had say, You have to understand that our history of western movies, what we've been doing in westerns since the movies began to talk, you had audiences that would be offended by certain things, and there was a cleaning-up of the way people spoke.

Well you know I've been fan of Tony Hillerman's books for years.

I was actually filming in Atlanta when I got a call from Walter Hill saying, Well, it could be your turn to play Hickok. I said, Oh, well, great! He said, What's your hair look like? I said, Well, it's short, Walter, but... I've still got that wig! . He said, Well, bring it!

I decided, Well, I'll be a forest ranger! Because I thought, I'll get to go out in the woods, I'll be in the forest, and I can sit in a tower and watch for forest fires and play my guitar. That's what I want to do! Well, I was an idiot, of course.

I think time is elastic. There are moments in my life that are many, many years ago and yet I can conjure them as though it's a second ago. And there are other things that happened maybe last week that seem like ages ago.

Part of my claim to fame is that my first film was also Johnny Cash's first film.

I wouldn't call it [Wild Bill Hickok] an urban legend, but I guess I'd call it a rural legend that the cowboy was always soft-spoken, mild-spoken, well-mannered.
Keith Carradine
The Western genre is certainly something with which I'm familiar.
Keith Carradine
And so I love films that are kind of rural in atmosphere. And you know, it's just a nice place to be day after day. All be it, it can be hard, it can be hard work. You can get hot.

I can't put bars on my insides my love is something I can't hide.

Mel [Gibson] could stage physical comedy and put the camera in such a way... I mean, we did some really funny stuff, and he had some great ideas about how to do it. It was a delight to work with him in that regard.
Keith Carradine
You know, for an actor to come into the midst of that, it's - It can either be difficult and somewhat unnerving, or it can be very embracing and like, kind of stepping into a nice hot tub.

Lee Marvin was just the best. Just the best. And that was the beginning of a friendship that lasted until he died. And the same with Ernie Borgnine. You know, I went up there and did that movie [Emperor Of The North] with those guys, and I actually was with Ernie the night that he died.
Keith Carradine
He was definitely known as the foremost man killer in the West however there's controversy about virtually every killing that he was known to have been involved in.
