"I felt pretty comfortable with Westerns, apart from the fact I couldn't ride"

This quote by Richard Widmark speaks with his convenience level with Westerns, a category of movie he was known for. He was confident in his capability to act in Westerns, but he was not able to ride a horse. This lack of horse riding abilities was the only thing that made him feel uncomfortable with the genre. This quote speaks with Widmark's humility and self-awareness. He was confident in his acting abilities, but he was also familiar with his restrictions. He was not scared to confess that he might refrain from doing something, and he was willing to work around it. This quote likewise speaks to Widmark's devotion to his craft. He was willing to put in the effort to find out and practice the skills he required to be successful in his chosen category. He was not scared to put in the work to end up being the best actor he might be.
