Always keep your ego in check and not be afraid to listen. Listening is a great art form.

Writing is a creative art form and the acting and directing is more of an interpretive art form.

Acting to me is a very organic art form and you just go and do it. And I like to direct the same way that I like to be directed. Let me bring in what I want to bring in, and if something's wrong, just tell me about it and I'll make some corrections or adjustments. And that's what I do.

If you consider film an art form, as some people do, then the Western would be a truly American art form, much as jazz is.
