Give Me The Compliments. I Love Compliments. I Was Born Modest, But It Wore Off.

Doing My First Movie, I Realized I Could Get Into Real Bad Habits. If You're The Star, All You Have To Do Is Show Up, And 20 People Say, 'do You Want Anything? What Is It? Let Me Get It For You.' Believe Me, You Get Spoiled Very Quickly. I Saw Some Of My Contemporaries Allow Themselves To Have That Fame, Thinking They Could Handle It. It Messed Them Up.

The First Play I Saw Was A Samuel Beckett Play Which Was Great.

New Mexico Is My Home. It Has Never Been Anything But Home. The Ranch Has Rivers And Canyon, Everything Imaginable. I Can Ride, Hunt And Fish. At The Same Time, Ranching Is Grueling, Difficult Work. It`s Like Acting, To Be Successful At It, You Have To Work Hard. I Take It Very Seriously.

It Looked Like It Might Not Work Out With Michael Keaton, So They Asked Joel Schumacher, `who Do You Want For Batman?` When He Said Me, I Asked My Agent, `why? Who Did They Not Get?` I`d Met With Joel A Couple Of Times Before About Other (movies). I Didn`t Know Anything In Terms Of The Cast, Story Or Anything, But I Said, `sure, Sounds Like Fun.` - On Accepting His Role As Batman.
