Quote

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.
