Zitat des Tages von Tom Selleck:
You know, there's so much imitation and so much pandering in Hollywood.
Do you like my suit? I think this is an amazing suit, don't you think?
Which to this day is a source of enormous guilt, because I left with three classes to go in the business school to sign a contract with 20th Century Fox.
If you buy an expensive thing and you never use it, I don't think there's a point to it.
You know I grew up watching the TV series The Rifleman.
I don't think you should do something just to prove to an audience that you can do it, that's way out of your wheelhouse.
I've never reacted well to other people telling me what to do.
Stand up and pledge with me: A government of the United States is not on the auction block. And America is not for sale!
To me, the excitement is in ordering a fine shotgun, going through the process that everybody who has bought one has gone through for 100 years. You order it, you make a significant down payment, and then you wait three or four years for the gun to be custom-made for you.
Son, never throw a punch at a redwood.
But, you know there's a lot of westerns - not that they were bad - it's just that they can be remade because they're great stories that aren't indelible in an audience's mind when it comes to both the cast and the story.
I guess after Dances With Wolves they probably tried some derivative westerns, and if they didn't work, they said the western is dead and moved on to something else.
I think television has always been one to replicate when something's successful. I don't think there's quite as much innovation.
I feel the other element of a western is the land, which is very important in this movie. I mean the land is another character in the piece, actually.
I never try to pander to an audience, and I'm really not concerned with my image. I'm far more interested in stretching my abilities as an actor.
It is scary for an actor when you get hired as a lead. No matter what the plot is, it is your job to do something interesting enough to make them want to get inside the lead character's head.
Hopefully you marry someone who you not only love, but who you like as well.
The Westerns I like aren't really comedies. I'm drawn to the scope of them and the land as a central character.
I realized I really liked the screen. I knew it was a challenge, but I wasn't afraid of risk.
I live a pretty simple life.
People tracking your life and photographing you anywhere you go, that can make you crazy.
Shooting clay targets is a very cleansing experience. It's very relaxing. It takes a lot of concentration. It's also very social, since you're usually shooting with friends. You can talk and forget about almost anything else that's on your mind.
I praise CBS for taking a risk, which is always the price you pay for opportunity. This is not standard movie of the week storytelling. I think movies of the week have fallen into a niche and that isn't my niche.
I think a lot of Magnum was me.
And besides, because of all she has accomplished, Barbara Jordan has always been a hero of mine.
It's not that conservatives don't care. We do. We just have different answers than liberals do. It's a difference of the mind, not of the heart.
Television's grown up a lot. It's a little more adult, which I think is a good thing. It allows actors to tell more complex stories. I'm happy to see where it ends up.
I quit 'Magnum' to have a family. It took a long time to get off the train, but I try very hard to have balance, and this ranch has helped me do that.
I had a strong, really good upbringing, not puritanical.
