When A Naked Man Is

Westerns. A Period Gone By, The Pioneer, The Loner Operating By Himself, Without Benefit Of Society. It Usually Has Something To Do With Some Sort Of Vengeance; He Takes Care Of The Vengeance Himself, Doesn't Call The Police. Like Robin Hood. It's The Last Masculine Frontier. Romantic Myth. I Guess, Though It's Hard To Think About Anything Romantic Today. In A Western You Can Think, Jesus, There Was A Time When Man Was Alone, On Horseback, Out There Where Man Hasn't Spoiled The Land Yet.

The Casting Is The Most Important Thing. If You Cast A Picture Really Well A Lot Of Things Take Care Of Themselves. You Get Actors That Like To Give A Lot To The Role And Who Appreciate The Role On The Same Level That You Do. If You Miscast It, You're Working An Uphill Battle A Little Bit And Maybe You Can Come Out Okay But You Can't Always Come Out Great.

When Anybody Gives You An Award, It Could Be Wrong. You’ve Just Got To Bear That It Mind And Go Ahead And Enjoy It. Like Morgan Says, It’s A Pat On The Back, So Great You’ll Take It And Then Move On.

You Are Always Hoping That Movie Audiences Are Interested In Characters And Interested In Story Values Rather Than Just Mindless Special Effects. But You Never Know.

I Just Think It Is Important That You Realize, That You're The Best In The World. Whether You Are A Democrat Or Republican Or Whether You're Libertarian Or Whatever, You Are The Best. And We Should Not Ever Forget That. And When Somebody Does Not Do The Job, We Got To Let Them Go.
