I know what you’re thinking ‘Did he fire six shots or only five?

I believe in my gut. Most people intellectualize their instincts away, but when you feel something, you have to go for it. A Fistful of Dollars was a great instinct for me, because here I was, a guy who’s doing Rawhide.

When you’re young, you’re very reckless. Then you get conservative. Then you get reckless again.

Nowadays, politically, everybody is promising everything. That’s the only way you can get elected.

I try to stick to a vegan diet heavy on fruit and vegetables.

Michael Moore and I actually have a lot in common. We both appreciate living in a country where there’s free expression. But Michael, if you ever show up at my front door with a camera, I’ll kill you. I mean it.
