Wish he would do some more major roles and get a Supporting Actor Oscar one of these days

He makes any movie he is in worth seeing.

And yeah, what a voice!

I've seen a lot of these types of pics attributing nutball Republican quotes to him, as well. And apparently, he prefers to keep his political views to himself.

He's the spokesman for the American beef growers, for crying out loud. Do you really think he'd tweet something like that?

Maybe he said this in favor of the American beef growers, those who are not the Mormons.

check out this Democratic National Christian Alternative. I'm on dial up and facebook is notoriously bloated- wouldn't use in in any case-too invasive for my taste.

He has a place somewhere around here, or he goes along way for some fish.

I'm just making fun of Elliot's cowboy drawl, but he is saying "bear." I had to watch the DVD with the subtitles on to prove it to myself

one thing I do know is he has excellent taste in ladies. He and Katharine Ross have been together 30 years. Before they married and she was still living in the S.F. East Bay Area my wife and I ran into her as we strolled through an upscale shop in Walnut Creek. I'm never at a loss for words but I was speechless at her natural beauty. I just stood there like an idiot looking at those incredible eyes. She saw me, smiled and said hello. I was jelly for a week.

This is the closest thing I've found to the supposed quote in the meme in the OP. [link:http://www.someecards.com/usercards/viewcard/MjAxMi0xZGY2ZjJkYWJkODI0NDIw|So it does not seem to be an accurate attribution to Sam Elliot. P.S. By the way I also tend to like Sam Elliot's acting. Namely in the film "Gettysburg".
