I do want to direct a movie from horseback one day.

I wouldn't mind doing a film revolving around horses, but I wouldn't dilute my equity just sitting on one.

The last time I did a movie that needed a horse, I said: 'If it moves, I'm out of here.' The worst thing is, they know when you're afraid and act up accordingly. I've had them run off on me. Horses I do not like.

There are other things that I could do, but there's really nothing that I love as much as horse racing.

Making a movie where the central character is a horse was a challenge. Because I'm scared of riding. I was thrown as a kid. One of my daughters is a competitive jumper, we live with horses, we have stables on our property. But I don't ride. I observe, and I worry.

Actors always lie about horse-riding, and it ends terribly. I can horse-ride... ish.

I'm lucky to get jobs where I get these amazing film horses that make me look much better than I am.

I want to die in the saddle. I love writing, producing, acting, directing.

There's a few movies I wanted to do, and I didn't get to do them partly because they wanted me to be part of the horse and pony show, getting the money, and I'm just not doing that. There's a few movies that people wanted me to do, but they were too safe.

You should never ask a horse or an actor to do something they cannot do. Wisdom will teach you to find out what they can do and then make it easy for them.
