I grew up on a ranch with my father, so he educated us really early on about guns. We used to go target shooting all the time.

I have always been fascinated with guns. I grew up in America, so, granted, it is part of our heritage, and it is written into the laws of how this country is run.

Generations of gun owners have taught their sons and daughters that it takes as much patience and skill to be a good shot as it does to be a good steward of a powerful weapon.

Remember the first rule of gunfighting... 'have a gun.'

I've dealt with a lot of guns over my career, so I'm getting better and better with firearms.

I would like to live long enough to see the day when people talk about which guns are the safest.

I've learned that guns are exceptionally challenging to use effectively, with a power that must be respected. But mostly what I've learned is that they're a lot of fun, and dangerously appealing to an active imagination.

Yes, I grew up with guns. For my 16th birthday, in fact, I received a .357 instead of a car. But there was nothing playful about them; they were tools. My parents went through a back-to-the-land phase. Most of our vegetables and fruits came from our own garden.

I had never really fired guns before, so this was all very new to me.

I've never cared for guns. In fact, when I did 'Scent of a Woman' I had to learn how to assemble one.
