00:00We've been talking about this one for quite a while, but you've been living with it for quite a bit.

00:05I heard you just finally locked two. Was it last night?

00:09Yeah, it was literally last night.

00:11What is it like to now have one and two totally in the can, three in production?

00:17When you think about the success of these movies, how do you define that when it comes to this franchise?

00:24I see them as an American story that you can invest in, that you can understand that each one gets harder.

00:34As opposed to reaching the end of the movie and suddenly, oh, things got easier.

00:38They don't. In the West, it got harder.

00:40And so does this movie, and these characters all have to dig in to survive.

00:45Is that true for you in making them? Each one gets harder?

00:48I have had to dig in, and I have had to call on things I didn't know that I was going to have to.

00:53But I've also felt really lucky that I could actually guide this process.

01:00Lucky enough that I could make it. I do feel lucky.

01:03I know Hayes was always the dream. He was always who you wanted to play.

01:07But as you started to watch your other actors dive into this, dig into it,

01:11was there any other character you were a little jealous you didn't get a chance to do?

01:15I don't covet other things. I don't covet something that's not mine.

01:21I have to ask you about your Hayes.

01:23Your son has been getting rave reviews for his performance.

01:26When you watched him on the big screen in Cannes,

01:29what was that moment like for you to see them and to have many of your kids with you to enjoy that moment?

01:36I was glad that he could see himself succeed. I think every parent wants that.

01:41I haven't pushed my children into this business. It was a smaller role.

01:45I know these roles are coveted, but I saw a chance to have him with me

01:49and to see how he performed. He really added to the movie.

01:53You're off working already on three.

01:57Who are the few people who know what happens at the end of this saga?

02:03I know you've been keeping a lot of this close to the vest.

02:05Who knows what happens in four? Who have you given these scripts to?

02:08If I tell you, you're going to start running them down.

02:10You're right.

02:11Trying to find out who's on the jury. Let's stop with that.

02:15It's my job.

02:18You posted to social media the other day about Yellowstone not coming back.

02:24Why was social media the way you wanted to do it?

02:26Why was now the right time to share that information?

02:29I've been talking to the press for the last month and a half.

02:35They've been asking me the same questions.

02:38I just finally tried to go to the people that have been following me

02:41and let them know that this was a moment to really step off.

02:45We'll see what the future is, but this was the moment to say,

02:49we're stepping off.

02:51Riding off into the sunset to the movies.

02:53Well, I'm not going anywhere.

02:56Thank you.
