I like the good feeling movies.

I like to do things that I develop from the ground up.

I try not to look for messages in films.

I was fortunate in the last century to be in the two biggest hits film-wise, 'Godfather I' and 'Godfather II,' and 'Lonesome Dove.'

I wouldn't mind starting to ride some more if I had a really good horse to just work a little bit with every day.

I'd like to direct again, but that's really hard to get something and raise the money. It's difficult to find just the right thing.

I'm better than Olivier.

If you don't have heroes in the beginning, you don't grow.

Look, Hollywood's a mecca, but it's not the final answer. You pick up a camera anyplace in the world, you can make a movie.

My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.

One thing I like about Argentina, they only cook with salt; that's it.

Seeing your name on the list for KP or guard duty when you're in the Army is like reading a bad review.

Some Russian ballet master woman said there's no culture in America, but if you look you can find interesting stuff in this country, don't you think?

Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.

There was nothing wrong with shouting at God.

To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.

Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.

Too many people think that economics is this subject that should wait until the university level. But it can't wait that long.

Very often some of the religious miracle plays you see on television can be very corny, I find. And so simplistic.

Well, I can't live without a woman. I have to have a woman, have to have a wife.
