I Try To Please Myself.

I Work For The Public, For The People Who Are Paying To Go To The Cinema, Rather Than For The Critics.

I Wanted Very Much To Do Traffic And At One Point It Looked Like I Was Going To Work On It. And Then, Of Course, Catherine Zeta-jones Had Her Relationship With Michael Douglas And It Suddenly Didn't Happen.

I Have Instinctually Thought I Could Do Things In My Life, And I Followed That Up By Sometimes Putting Everything I Have At Risk - My Money, My House - To Make A Movie.

Cowboy Movies Aren't Supposed To Be In Vogue. I Still Like Them. You Know, I'm Still Out There Pitching The Hell Out Of Them.

The Western Will Always Be Here. And It Just Depends On How Good You Make One. And One Movie Doesn't Kill It. And One Movie Doesn't Preserve It. It's Storytelling. It's A Very American Thing. I'll Continue To Do It.
