- I don't want to be known as a sex symbol. There's a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott.
- I've spent my entire career on horseback or on a motorcycle. It boxes you in, the way people perceive you. I read a lot of scripts. Most of 'em go to other actors.
- I think I might have been a more interesting actor, had more of a career earlier on, if I had more formal preparation. When I see something ten years later that I was in I think, "Boy, would I love to do that over."
- I was really happy that Ang Lee won the Best Director award, I got to know him very well on Hulk (2003). But I'm not the Brokeback Mountain (2005) crowd, what can I tell ya. I'm more of a purist. But at the same time, it's a new day.
- I'm picky, very picky. I wanted to be an actor since I was nine years old and I figured that was only one way to ever have any longevity and that's to be careful about what kind of work you do. You can work for money, do a lot of whatever comes your way and not have any kind of a yardstick to measure quality by, and people, you know you'll make a lot of money if you're lucky, and people will get fed up and sick of seeing you and that's it onto the next one. (On his career choices)
- Any of these Vietnam vets that have been there and know the deal, they don't feel that any Hollywood endeavor about the Vietnam era has ever gotten it right yet.
- I don't want to be known as a sex symbol. There's a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott.
- I just went to see too many movies and I sat in too many dark matinees watching those old serials.
- I read a lot of scripts. Most of 'em go to other actors.
- I think anytime you can affect people in general, in a positive way, then you're a lucky individual.
- I was single-minded on what I wanted to do since I was like nine or ten.
- I'm a four star general in this thing, and you don't rise to the ranks of a four star general by hanging about the house being the perfect dad.
- I've spent my entire career on horseback or on a motorcycle. It boxes you in, the way people perceive you.
- The opportunity, number one, to work with Ang Lee is an amazing thing for me.
