Robert Duvall

Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.

I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.

To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.

I love the smell of juice boxes in the morning.

I've always remembered something Sanford Meisner, my acting teacher, told us. When you create a character, it's like making a chair, except instead of making someting out of wood, you make it out of yourself. That's the actor's craft - using yourself to create a character.
