I Never Really Did A Western Western.

You Have To Play Your Characters, Not Like Them.

You Can Be A Mason And Build 50 Buildings, But It Doesn't Mean You Can Design One.

Sigmund Freud Said We Act Out Our Own Dreams, But If You Are Only An Actor You Are Not Acting Out Your Own Dream. You Are Simply Participating In Someone Else's Dream.

I Like To Direct Movies, But I Don't Like To Goof Around For Eight Years Talking About It. And It's Pretty Irritating To Get A Movie On. So To Complicate It By Having More Irritation As A Director, I Don't Really Need It. And Because I Direct A Great Deal Still, But In The Theater, I Kind Of Get That Anyway. Which Is Not At All To Say I Would Never Do It Again, Or It Would Never Happen Again.

With Acting It's Your Neck Up There In The End. And If You Think The Director Can't Help You It's One Thing. But If You Feel They're Reining You In When They Need To Be Giving You Some Rope, Or Vice Versa, Then I Just Don't Tolerate That.
