I grew up in wide-open spaces, but they didn't have the romantic history of the West.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up watching Westerns.
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.
I've always been a fan of Westerns, but my favorite kind of Westerns mostly were Sam Peckinpah's Westerns, and they mainly took place in the West that was changing.
People are always asking me why they don't make Westerns like they used to.
My history was the Western. I grew up with the Lone Ranger, the Cisco Kid and Bonanza. I felt as much a child of the West as someone born in Montana or Wyoming.
When I was growing up in the '60s I would have thought that westerns would last forever.
The West was a wonderful world to me. I decided then that if this is the way they did things, then I wanted to be part of it.
I am not a fan of westerns particularly.
Like almost everything else from the West, the Romantic Revolution arrived late in Russia.
