I grew up hunting with shotguns and rifles, and we had a gun in every corner of the living room. I'm not a gun advocate, but that's the way I grew up.
I think all of us have a hero and a villain in us.
I'm an enemy of exposition. I feel there's no need to overstate.
Good and bad are really arbitrary words when it comes to character.
I'm not interested in the heroes or the villains. I'm interested in playing people.
I grew up in the South, so a huge part of our American History education revolved around the Civil War.
I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible.
I grew up in a place where a lot of my friends had horses, so I grew up riding. But I'm not an expert.
I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.
Life fundamentally does not change depending on work or fame or success.
I think the American Western laid down a kind of subject matter that's about following your instinct or following your gut and having a sort of removed quality from your humanity. And I think Clint Eastwood helped to establish that.
For me, acting is play. It's just play and it's playing make believe really, really well.
I love getting paid to ride a horse.
About once a year, I do these long-distance relays with some friends of mine, and it takes about 27 or 28 hours to complete it.
I can't claim I'm truly a man's man, I'm just as much of a dork and a crybaby sometimes as anybody else.
The whole cable-TV original programming just changed the nature of television.
I'm a goofball.
I like science fiction. I took all the accelerated classes in school. I'm kind of a dork.
I don't know how to put on any tough guy pretensions.
You don't need to like your protagonists.
